Awesome video. Such beauty all around

[@Shaz-on-Adventure]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode 🎉 your adventurous spirit is contagious.

[@africaunexpected]

Thanks. You will love what we did at 3am to find the really unexpected. Coming today!

[@JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Incredibly Awesome! Absolutely Stunning And Breathtaking! 🫶🏻🤩❤️✨

[@africaunexpected]

Yeah, Betty’s Bay is really beautiful. I am looking forward to sharing other parts that are even more amazing.

[@Brandon-ko3rf]

Funny enough ik headed to Betty’s Bay next month. Never knew that existed but will be looking forward to trying

[@africaunexpected]

Enjoy. It is dependent on the rain and so vanishes as we head into summer, but that’s like any good secret. It’s only around for a while.

[@CapeRides]

Nice video! Subscribed. Used to Hermanus once a month for work and never knew this

[@africaunexpected]

Thanks for subscribing - much appreciated.

[@ochrechap]

I like your video! From Pe

[@africaunexpected]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@UserHilux579]

Sooo much fun !

[@glynislailann9056]

There used to be a road connecting Betty's Bay to Pringle Bay many years ago, but that has been reclaimed by the sand dunes.

[@africaunexpected]

That’s amazing. It shows how nature is such a force.

[@julialuyt990]

It's incredibly hard to slide down that dune. But great fun!

[@africaunexpected]

I just got to find a nice waxed board

[@hanneliewiese3477]

When the sea is rough and it is high tide, the sea washes into this "lake"

[@AGirlNamedVan]

i love our powder white sand in cape town . when I go to the beach in Durban it doesn't feel right . its like I'm sitting in garden soil lol .... i cannot get over other textures and colours of beach sand that isn't cape town .

[@africaunexpected]

The West Coast certainly does have many beaches with stunning soft white sand.

[@AGirlNamedVan]

@@africaunexpected I love it! Sorry if I say cape town I mean most of the western cape lol

[@markwillies7666]

Less of a lake and more of a pond

[@glynn4302]

We were warned years ago about going into the lakes in the dunes because a lot of people lost their lives because of SINKING SANDS. It's dangerous there.

[@suzywilson]

You were on the wrong side to see the house ❤ Shoukd have gone past the dune back the way you came where the mouth of the lake is where it runs into the sea. There is a small trail to your right when you face the lakeside that wins between the fynbos and the dunes.

[@africaunexpected]

Thanks. We will have to go back and try again. The joy of adventure.

[@suzywilson]

@africaunexpected Pleasure! The house that is visible, is between two or three smaller dunes. It's painted white and green. There is a caretaker that lives there or someone to that effect.

[@AngeloWilliams-b5y]

Beautiful But that looks more like a secret pond

[@africaunexpected]

Very true😂 It was a lot larger the first time we went, but when we came back to film the water had dried up quite a lot. But as a bonus it is nice and warm to swim in🙂

[@oloffcrous4924]

Great stories!!!! Can you drop us a PIN on the lake location perhaps?

[@africaunexpected]

I will do that when I’m next back there. But remember it is seasonal. It can be found near the end of Silversands beach

[@derekridge8501]

You were so close, the house is just behind the lake 😂

[@africaunexpected]

Really? I will have to go and look again.

[@thatsouthafrican]

Just take a regular bougieboard down those sand dunes, you will be flying!

[@africaunexpected]

Great idea. I will try that. Thanks.

[@laurenreynders2764]

Definitely not the biggest or highest dune is SA. The Alexandria dune system just north of Gqeberha (Algoa Bay) and the end point of the Eden to Addo Corridor is th biggest in South Africa followed by IsImangaliso Dune System in KZN. These are both 2 of the biggest dune systems in the Southern Hemisphere.

[@ochrechap]

@@laurenreynders2764I was going to elaborate on the one closest to PE, but you got there before I did. And you added more. Hehe

[@gideongouvs5559]

Is it a "lake" or a little pond ???

[@africaunexpected]

Lake,,,pond…puddle…whatever it is it is fun

[@craigsparks1442]

Lake?... That's a rain puddle

[@africaunexpected]

We only managed to go in Spring. In winter it’s deeper - but the good news is you’re unlikely to drown in it.

[@karenessauthor]

There is another lake. Much deeper.

[@craigsparks1442]

@@africaunexpected I had the jimny half packed in anticipation of a hidden gem... Now my Speedo will have to stay there for the summer

[@africaunexpected]

We are going to have to keep searching.
