Diaz Beach

Back

The exceedingly beautiful Diaz Beach is one of the top attractions in Mossel Bay, as a long outstretched sandy white beachfront with striking blue Indian Ocean stealing a show. This is the perfect beach from which to take in the naturally profound beauty of Mossel Bay’s coastline. Diaz beach was named after the famed Bartolomeu Dias, who first set foot in Mossel Bay back in 1488, adding to the areas rich and vivid history. It is at this family friendly and safe beach that guests to the Garden Route enjoy endless hours of outdoor fun. In summer swimming, surfing and kayaking are just some of the water sports and activities to look forward to while spending time at Diaz Beach.

A number of casual beachfront restaurants, cafes and stores also form part of the setting and create an exciting and vibrant over-all experience to both locals and holiday guests. On calmer days, romantic sunset picnics or long sunny walks along the shore are regularly enjoyed. Framing Mossel Bay’s Diaz Beachfront is a stretch of grass which is the perfect spot to pull up for a picnic with loved ones, while the postcard perfect ocean and beach sooth the soul. In summer, this beach can get very busy as families and friends make the best of the weather and enjoy the refreshing ocean.
