Llandudno is a residential suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula. There are no shops or commercial activities, and the suburb has some of the most expensive residential property in South Africa. It is not the home of billionaire Sol Kerzner and his family as is commonly thought, rather, Sol Kerzner owns the Mountain named Leeukoppie which is half in Llandudno and half in Hout Bay. His estate is on the Hout Bay side.
Llandudno Beach is one of the Cape's most beautiful beaches, surrounded by large granite boulders and overlooked by mountains. It is a popular surfing spot, but the swimming can be treacherous, with rough seas and extremely cold water. Llandudno has lifeguards on duty during the summer season, operated by the Llandudno Surf Lifesaving club. It is also the access point for the walk to Sandy Bay, an isolated beach still popular with nudists.
Llandudno is named after the North Wales seaside resort of Llandudno, which means "Parish of Saint Tudno" in the Welsh language.
