Clifton is the location of choice for the successful and wealthy and its 4 granite boulder lined, wind protected white sandy beaches down below are the leisure playground of choice for holidaymakers and day trippers.
Originally known as Skoenmaker's Gat (Cobbler's Cave) after a ship deserter who lived in a cave above second beach, the name was changed in the late 19th century to Clifton-on-Sea, after Bessie Clifton who owned the only hotel in the area. Over the years the 'on Sea' bit got dropped, and today we know it simply as Clifton.
Blue Flag rated Clifton beach was consistently voted among the world's best - 2nd by National Geographic in 2015 and in the top 10 by the Travel Channel.
