The area enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters, ideal for outdoor pursuits.

Visitors to Strand can explore the nearby False Bay coastline, which includes spots for whale watching during the migration season. The town developed as a residential area in the 20th century, growing from a small fishing community into a hub for holidaymakers. Everyday life here revolves around the beachfront promenade, lined with cafes and shops that cater to tourists.
