Celebrate the last of the summer goodness with plenty of swims, picnics and walks on our beautiful beaches – and support local brands while you’re at it!
Clifton Beach Diffuser | Cape Island
Capturing the intoxicating scent of an iconic Cape Town beach, the Clifton Beach diffuser from Cape Island is just what you need to bring the smell of summer home. With notes of coconut, vanilla, tolu balsam and lime, the fragrance is fresh and sophisticated – and the beautiful teal glass bottle is certainly easy on the eyes.
Pet Accessories | Chommies
Dubbed Clifton 1st after Clifton’s only dog-friendly beach, this holiday-inspired range of pet accessories is delicately beaded but hardy enough for dogs that roll around in the sand and catch all the waves. The range comes in three designs – Now Now, Jolly Lolly and Skinny Dip – and includes collars and leads. What’s more, each piece is entirely handmade by local artisans.
Face Juice | Beaut
If your skin needs a little moisturising love, try this ultra-hydrating serum that’s lightweight, anti-inflammatory and plumps fine lines and wrinkles. It’s the perfect all-rounder to add to your skincare routine, particularly when you’ve been spending many long days outside in the sun, buffeted by the elements and need to repair some damage. It’s also plant-based and cruelty-free!
Beachwear | Granadilla Swim
Funky cossies and swim shorts that are as cool as the Mother City! We love the bold, bright and quirky range of beachwear from Granadilla Swim, which is perhaps best known for using the legendary granadilla ice lolly throughout their collections. The summer-loving brand began back in 2015 and truly captures the Cape’s fun-loving summer spirit.
Betty Bag | Bomba Bag
Looking for a bag that’s big enough to keep all your beach goodies in? Be prepared for anything in the most stylish way possible with the fabulous Betty Bag! Made from canvas and leather, and lined with fabric, it’s manufactured completely in Cape Town. In fact, it’s so local that it was inspired by the need for a comfortable, spacious bag for family weekends away in Betty’s Bay!
Sunscreen | Fundamentals
Looking for a proudly South African brand of sunscreen? The fabulous Fundamentals Skincare’s SPF 30 not only protects the skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays, but it’s also cruelty-free, vegan and fragrance-free. The cream absorbs easily and doesn’t leave a white film on your skin, and it’s ideal for all types of skin – perfect not only for beach days, but every day!
