According to the City’s mayoral committee member for spatial planning and environment, Eddie Andrews, the refurbishment of the Muizenberg beachfront is moving along well, with major upgrades to public amenities and the replacement of the ageing seawalls underway.
“I visited the beachfront a few days ago, and the project team confirmed that all is on track to open the eastern parking area on the beach side, in front of the Muizenberg Civic Centre, to the public by 1 August 2025. I know our surfing community will be very excited to hear this,” he said.
Next in the project is the removal of sections of the existing seawall at Surfers’ Corner.
Original sandstone rocks from the Surfer’s Corner seawall will be stored for possible reuse in the new design.

The original sandstone rocks that make up the wall will be stored and later assessed for possible reuse, as they are considered key to the corner’s heritage.
The stones will be placed in a temporary stockpile area next to the waterslides and clearly barricaded with safety netting.
This activity is expected to take place within the next two weeks, depending on site progress and weather conditions.
Residents and business owners are encouraged to attend the next community meeting on Wednesday, August 20 at 17.30 at the Zandvlei Lookout for updates on the project timelines and progress.
