Sunset Beach sits inside Western Cape, South Africa and ranks #125 of 148 cities in Western Cape by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Sunset Beach and the countries closest to Sunset Beach by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near South Africa. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Africa.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Sunset Beach, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Sunset Beach at a glance.
