This photo of the Muizenberg Beach Huts were taken at Muizenberg Beach, just outside of Cape Town. To get here, navigate to Muizenberg Beach and park at one of the parking spots along Beach Road. Then, make your way towards the beach — you can't miss the colorful beach huts!
There are two sets of huts — this photo is of the huts on the right side. We stood on the sand behind the huts and faced out towards the water.
