Waters Edge
About Waters Edge
Waters Edge sits where Simon’s Bay meets the south coast of the Cape Peninsula, at a point where the shoreline turns and becomes more exposed to southeast swell and wind. The site lies within a Marine Protected Area and is fully inside a restricted zone. Underwater terrain is a gently sloping sandy bottom with occasional low rock outcrops. A band of higher reef runs close to shore, with large boulders and gullies along the shoreline.
