Going for walks on Strand beach is always nice. If you ask my girls, getting rewarded for a long walk in the sand is even better. Enter the humble Belgian Waffle.

Standing on Beach Road, tucked under the 97 on Strand building and sandwiched between an estate agent and an ice cream shop, The Belgian Waffle House is a popular spot for locals looking for a good, slightly unusual in that you don’t come across waffles all that often, family (and pocket) friendly treat while out for a day at the beach.

As you would expect, these light and fluffy, well priced waffles come with a bewildering array of topping/sauce choices, with the girls, Chantelle and myself already all having our own person favourite.

The place is almost never empty (which is probably why they don’t take bookings), and well worth keeping in mind for one of those “quick, we need shelter from the wind!” days out at the beach.

Also, the new brick and concrete beach promenade is coming on very, very nicely indeed…

(Oh, and if Strand is too far out for all the students in Stellenbosch, not to worry, they have their very own branch out that way.)
