# Visitors to Cape Town’s Noordhoek Beach, especially horseback riders, are urged to exercise caution due to dangerous sand conditions. This follows an incident in which a horse became trapped in quicksand this past weekend. Table Mountain National Park has advised keeping a distance of 15-to-20 meters from the lagoon, as quicksand can form near water bodies due to factors like saturation and shifting tides. Conditions are expected to improve in about four weeks as the area dries out.
