海浪中的避风港 Sanctuary in the surf

圣詹姆斯潮汐池，开普敦，南非

圣詹姆斯海滩坐落在开普敦海岸线上，是一个隐蔽的小海滩，因其一排排色彩缤纷的维多利亚式海滩小屋而备受欢迎。在蔚蓝大海的映衬下，这些海滩小屋呈现出万花筒般的色彩。这里的环境非常适合悠闲漫步，一边沐浴着温暖的阳光，一边欣赏潮起潮落，十分惬意。不过，圣詹姆斯潮汐池才是这里最引人注目的景点，这是一个受保护的游泳区域，有许多小型海洋生物在此繁衍生息。它建在崎岖的岩石之间，池水清澈见底，为游客提供了宁静的游泳体验。与外面的海水相比，潮汐池的水更温暖，您也无需担心水流过急，这里非常适合玩水上漂浮，是孩子和成人的安全水上乐园。

St. James Tidal Pool, Cape Town, South Africa

St. James Beach is a small, sheltered beach on Cape Town's coastline, where vibrant Victorian bathing boxes sit side by side against an azure ocean backdrop. However, it's the St. James Tidal Pool, pictured on our homepage, that steals the spotlight. This protected bathing area, built between rugged rocks, offers crystal-clear waters for a tranquil swimming experience. The pool is warm compared with the ocean, teems with small marine life, and is perfect for floating around without worrying about strong currents. For those who like to stay dry, the beach is perfect for leisurely strolls, soaking up the sun, and observing the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides.

From this vantage point, we have a striking view of Table Mountain, with its 'tablecloth,' or cloud cover that typically shrouds the local landmark. Cape Town is a popular tourist destination noted for its beaches, natural beauty, architecture, and multicultural diversity—and in that diversity, it's a showcase for South Africa that Archbishop Desmond Tutu called the 'rainbow nation').

We're here today in honor of the Day of Reconciliation, a public holiday celebrated annually on December 16 that's meant to celebrate unity. President Nelson Mandela and the government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission created the holiday in 1995 to heal the wounds after decades of apartheid, South Africa's system of institutionalized racial segregation and oppression. South Africans observe the day with parades and other festivities.
