Hotels in Scarborough, Cape Town

The best time to visit Scarborough, Western Cape, is generally during the summer months, from November to February, or the shoulder seasons of March to April and September to October.The summer months offer warm, dry weather, great for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities like surfing, kayaking, and hiking along the coast. The days are long, and the ocean is at its most inviting for swimming and watersports. This period is ideal for families looking for a beach holiday or couples seeking a sunny escape.The shoulder seasons, particularly March to April, bring slightly cooler but still pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and often better value for accommodation. This time is excellent for couples who prefer a more relaxed pace and enjoy exploring the natural beauty of the area without the peak season bustle. It's also a good time for whale watching, as southern right whales can often be spotted along the coastline from June to November.
