S1 – Ep 258 – Strand – Our Seaside Resort Hometown!

I lived there for eight years best place in the world

Just to say I love watching your travels with my wife, who makes me a cup of coffee when she gets up and says: Put on Dustbugs before you get your coffee.

Visited the Strand the first time end 1976 after finishing school and again in 2017.....was completely overwhelmed by the development especially on the water fromt

Hi you two! What a wonderful trip along this unique beach, thank you! It is not for nothing that the town is called Strand. As Sonia rightly said, it must be one of, if not the, largest beaches on our coasts. I must admit that I'm a bit jealous of you living there. Your drone views were stunning with the music adding even more. The design of the modern buildings we saw, was fascinating. Nothing lacking on this trip: blue skies, blue sea, white beaches and dunes, mountains and the pleasant greenery at the golf course. I am happy for you that you two could at last, after your Cape trips, enjoy a drink with a beautiful sunset on the beach. Looking forward to you continuing this great program. Have a good rest and Keep safe!

Brilliant. I'm going to start looking at property in Strand right now. Awesome place. Never even knew such a lovely beach exist in the area. Awesome video... as always. Keep up the good work. The ending is spectacular.

Awesome Clip this is by far one of my favourite beaches and I've always sed it and always come on hot days

Another fantastic video. Thank you. The government should pay you for this an all your videos, because you show the world how ZA really is.

Hi guys agree with Sonia beautiful beach the love the old the flea market the metal stalls I used when l did market trading amazing promenade immaculate drone footage stunning. The white sand is so inviting nice and quiet just how I like it the difference when busy crazy love the dune Park golf course top class the blocks of apartments have Spanish vibe to me well done to the building preservation like the boat building the Belgian waffle shop tasty .Sun set beautiful there's a few strands in the UK and one I've been to in Belgium but this tops the lot .myself and my wife when I used to smoke would go through the channel turn left 40k Belgium border and buy cigarettes in a small towns adinkerk on the way we would have waffles along near strand in Belgium thanks for a great video cheerio till the next one

Aha! Now we see where you guys live. Strand reminds me a lot of Tableview where I lived for a few years. With overtones of Sea Point. You re fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. "Strand is no stranger to wind"...said as you passed a tree absolutely buckled from the force of many a gale!! Was that planned or coincidence? I do love an outdoor gym! Its way better than the smelly indoor ones that are jostling with people fighting for the equipment. And its free! There is no reason not to be fit trim and healthy in Strand!

Fabulous from start to end 🥂 And I'm watching the subscriptions tally as you are so close to 12K - I'll pop the cork of that ready-on-ice Rosé JC le Roux bubbly 🍾 in recognition of your next impressive achievement up the YouTube ladder of popularity, as soon as it happens 💃🏻

What an incredible episode, your drone shots showcasing a totally brand new perspective on viewing the Strand. I saw that chap's stunning sand sculptures the other day as we always swim at that beach. I have to agree there is no beach like the Strand Beach, however one must follow the lifesavers instructions and its best to swim where they are. I saved a little boy a few years ago who didn't want to listen, he was too far out and was then taken under by a wave. Those dunes, where you walked, was our home many times in our yesteryears. Hibernian towers an incredible building. Die Melkbaai is still a firm favorite though. I visited that penthouse in "Ocean View" , it has incredible 360 degree views. You're very fortunate to call Strand your home. The closing scene with your 2 chairs on the beach is priceless in every aspect and I suppose perhaps the best marketing of Strand ever seen. It captures so much. The food looked great at the waffle place. 'N Ice is another Strand institution, a heavy hand with their servings and a strong hand is required to hold the cone packed with ice-cream. Great value for money. Barts...another great institution.

My home for a year, until end 2018. Lived just off Beach road, near the Caltex garage. You make me lekker lus for those Belgian Waffles. Although, I did go there in December or maybe late November. That Ice Cream place next to the Belgian Waffles is probably my favourite of that group that are dotted along the Strand coast. I do think it is the best beach in the Western Cape - not my favourite, that would be Fish Hoek - because of Jagger's Walk. When I tell people I meet about Strand, that whoever named the place, did a good job. "Die Strand" in Afrikaans (or Dutch) - "The Beach" in English. It does have the best of all the more popular beaches in Cape Town. Seaside Restaurants (Camps Bay), Pavilion (Sea Point), Walkway, Putt Putt, Surf (Muizenberg), Kite surfing (Blouberg), Fishing, Sand Dunes, Safe, Family Friendly (Fish Hoek), Swimming is safe (though I'm not sure I have swum there so not completely sure of backcurrent). You name it. All on a much smaller scale than the more popular beaches. You hundred percent right about those winter days too.

Ok thats it I'm done. Pack me up and send me to Strand. Im sold!!!!!!!!

The lovely beautiful Strand. I have faint memories of somewhere in the late fifties early sixties our family came by train to the Strand and we picnicked under the old Pavilion. It was on massive columns and we had ample space in the shade. Years after that we camped in the Caravan park but I don not know if that exists any more..it is near thet Greenways estate, which is a beautiful place inside. But the wind can also blow in the Strand...If I remember correctly there was also the White House hotel on one of those corners in Beach road. but ja...we visited the Strand regularly in the years gone by...Thanx for showing us again

Great series...the videos around Cape Town was amazing

Wonderful to see my home . Greenways is a great place to live in strand. Strand Fisheries for best fish. Famila in Gordon's Bay for best Pizza and we have Somerset mall which is a great mall. I love it. Thanks so much. I can't wait to get back sometime this year. Many thanks for a wonderful video

Very impressive buildings - I`m just wondering if the vehicle goes where the camera is pointing .....would we see as much ?😀😀😀

Such a lovely video! I absolutely enjoyed the drive you took us on in this one. Great to see the comparison between the holiday season and when everything is back to normal. Your Cape Town series was incredible and I look forward to seeing where you take us all next.

Wow what an amazing sunset, it so beautiful. Strand seems to have a peaceful lay back atmosphere. Stunning
