Bikini Beach is a Blue Flag beach situated in the small coastal town of Gordon's Bay in the Western Cape, at the foot of the Hottentot's Holland mountain range. It is rated as one of Cape Town’s top beaches due to its excellent facilities, cleanliness and safety standards.

Locals and visitors enjoy sunbathing, swimming and socialising on Bikini Beach, which is popular with students from the nearby Stellenbosch University. The beach is tucked up against the Gordon's Bay harbour wall, sheltered from the southerly winds. Surfers enjoy riding the left-hand break off the harbour wall, and it’s a popular spot for anglers too. There are moorings for yachts and motor launches, and the beach is also a departure point for deep sea fishing charters, scenic cruises and shark viewing trips to Seal Island.
