Two Beaches in Cape Town Named Among World’s Top 20 Most Beautiful Beaches

Online gambling company Betway recently searched the internet for the world’d best beaches. To set up a ranking of the top 100 beaches in the world, data was analysed from each location to determine average temperature in August or January (depending on location) as well as amount of precipitation, number of Instagram tags and reviews with a positive sentiment on TripAdvisor. The aforementioned data points were then indexed and given a weighted score between 0-100. Data is up to date as of June 2023.
