Walk and parking distances are measured on OpenStreetMap. Fee and restrooms come from counted visitor reviews and mapped facilities. A dash means we have no evidence either way, not that the answer is no.

Questions

Common questions

Which West Coast beach has the shortest walk from the car?
The Beach Hut in Paternoster has the listing right on the shoreline. We measure the straight line from the listed location to the mapped waterline for every beach, so the table above ranks them all.
Do you have to pay to park at West Coast beaches?
Mostly yes. Of the 8 beaches here, 0 have visitors reporting a parking or entry fee and 0 report free parking. Reported fees run from $20 to $35 a day in season, and several beaches drop the fee after 5pm or outside the summer.
Which beaches have restrooms?
5 of the 8 beaches have restrooms mapped on site or reported by visitors. Seasonal closures are common: several National Seashore beaches close their facilities outside the summer.
How current is this?
Tide, waves, wind and water temperature are fetched live in your browser from Open-Meteo. Parking and facility positions come from OpenStreetMap; imagery from CD:NGI. Facts counted from visitor reviews carry the year range they were written in.
How we know

Where this comes from

Place details from the public Google business listing. Beach shape, parking and facility positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). Aerial imagery is 25 cm national coverage from the Chief Directorate: National Geo-spatial Information, used with permission. Tide is modelled, and weather, waves and water temperature come from Open-Meteo, each labelled as measured or modelled. Map drawings are redrawn from that aerial imagery by an image model. Markers, distances and every fact on this page come from OpenStreetMap and counted reviews, never from a drawing. Review text is never republished.
