Abstract

An aerial survey of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, shoreline (34° S, 18°W) was undertaken to determine patterns and intensities of non-exploitative shore utilization during peak summer holiday periods (mid-December–mid-January). Data was gathered by aerial survey on six occasions during the period December 1985 to January 1988. It was found that beach attendances on traditional peak days (public holidays on 26 December, 1 January and 2 January) were 2–10 times higher than attendances on other days within the peak holiday season. Management plans must therefore take cognizance of extreme peaking of beach utilization on a few specific days of the year.
