Four of South Africa’s most beloved beaches have been recognised among the world’s best in the newly launched Corona Beach 100 — a first-of-its-kind global guide celebrating the most breathtaking coastal destinations on earth.
The guide’s ‘Sun Rating’ system, inspired by Michelin-style guide but rooted in natural wonder, were determined by an international panel of oceanographers, surfers, free divers, and environmentalists, with one sun for beaches worth the trip, two for those worth the journey, and three for destinations considered life-changing.
In South Africa, Kraalbaai in Langebaan was awarded the top-tier three-sun rating, celebrated for its untouched beauty and tranquil lagoon waters. Boulders Beach, home to the country’s famous penguin colony, earned a two-sun rating for its unique wildlife and serenity. Meanwhile, the idyllic Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and the iconic Camps Bay, Cape Town, each received one sun, making them must-visit spots for both South Africans and global travellers in search of unforgettable seaside moments seeking unforgettable seaside moments.
The guide is part of Corona’s global centennial celebrations, honouring 100 years of living the beachside lifestyle — and encouraging people everywhere to embrace a life lived outdoors. Through this celebration, the brand pays tribute to its legacy of connecting with nature, slowing down, and embodying the art of relaxation.
South Africans can look forward to a series of Corona 100 celebrations taking place locally over the coming months.
