Table Mountain National Park management has issued a warning for locals and tourists thinking of taking a stroll along Noordhoek Beach to be on the lookout for quicksand near the shore. Beach goers are being advised by park authorities to be cautious and keep a safe distance of 15 to 20 metres from the lagoon, especially if they are riding horses.
” Similar conditions after the scary incident have now prompted authorities to issue the warning, although the odds of sinking entirely were pretty slim according to Dr Ryan Tucker, a senior lecturer in sedimentology and palaeontology at Stellenbosch University.
