2023

Prototype

2024

Community

Local tips and photo stories made guides fresher and more helpful.

2025

One-spot destination

Expanded to stays, eats, trails, events, and smart planning tools.

VALUES

What guides our work

Safety first

We surface current beach flags, shark advisories, and weather cues.

Independent picks

We don't sell placements. Editors choose what's useful, not what's paid.

Community-built

Locals and visitors share live notes that improve every guide.

Respect the Cape

Leave no trace, support small businesses, and protect dunes & wildlife.

EDITORIAL

How we choose and update picks

We prioritize safety, accuracy, and usefulness over hype.

On-the-ground checks

Editors visit in person, confirm access, amenities, and seasonal details.

No paid placement

Businesses cannot buy their way into our 'best' lists.

Updates & corrections

See something off? Tell us-most updates ship within 48 hours.
