The African Pelicans seem to like to come to visit during evening time at dusk, staying all night on sand bank just across water. It's almost as if they come for an overnight or weekend stay. Obviously like Hilton to them.

Other visitors that we love to see on our lagoon are Egrets, Herons and Oyster Catchers. Wonderful wading birds, all with their own characteristics, which you could sit and watch all day long, just wading up and down, dancing their flirty dances to attract fish, or at least confuse fish sufficiently for bird to suddenly dip its head and peck fish straight out of water and into it's gullet.

Beaches with facilities, life and people, beaches without anything except for birdlife. The choice is yours. Often you can find beaches not far away from hubbub and find not one soul upon it, real desert island stuff.

Spectacular scenery is also norm for Cape Town beaches. Just think of bay of Cape Town with it's flat-topped mountain in background. The whole of bay is infact, one long sandy beach, stetching for miles around Table Bay.

Next time you're thinking about taking a beach holiday, take a look at Cape Town - you'll not be disappointed.

5. Go camping Firelight and shooting stars every night . . . breathtaking natural beauty . . . snuggling with your honey in a cocoon of zipped-together sleeping bags . . . . Yes, camping can be romantic, as long you’re well prepared and have right equipment (warm sleeping bags, a comfortable mattress pad, and a waterproof tent are a must). Plus, it’s pretty cheap--$10 to $20 per night at most locations. It’s even cheaper if you cook your own food. You can mix a few nights of camping with a few nights in hotels to make your honeymoon more affordable. And don’t overlook rustic (but cheap) cabins available for rent at many state and national parks. Some even offer a honeymoon cabin!

6. Travel in off season It may be obvious to seasoned travelers, but those with less experience may not be aware of how affordable it can be to honeymoon in off season: basically, any time other than when most people travel to your destination. Certain destinations’ accommodation and airfare prices may be slashed by 30 percent or more during off-season compared to peak travel season. Traveling in off season doesn’t necessarily mean enduring wintry weather. Fall and spring usually offer discounted rates as well.

7. Consider your airline alternatives When booking airfare online, don’t overlook discount airlines (Southwest, Song, jetBlue, and so on); some are not listed on big travel portal websites, even though they might have a lower fare to your destination. Also be sure to compare rates for alternate airports within a reasonable traveling distance. You might live half an hour from a major airport, but smaller airport a couple hours away might have substantially lower fares, perhaps saving you hundreds of dollars. Finally, be flexible about your arrival and departure dates; major travel portals all have options to search for cheapest flights within a range of dates. Any one of these alternatives could potentially save you hundreds of dollars.

8. Check budget travel newsletters If you’re not picky about where you honeymoon, you can probably cash in on promotional deals offering deep discounts on airfare and lodging—if you know about them. To stay abreast of latest offers, sign up with as many free budget travel newsletters as you can. Start by signing up with budget travel newsletters offered by Frommers.com, About.com, and MSNBC.
