Prince's Grant Beach is located below the Prince's Grant Coastal Golf Estate, a private residential and resort development. While the estate itself is gated and access-controlled, South African law guarantees public access to all beaches up to the high-water mark. Visitors may access the beach via public pathways, though estate amenities and facilities are reserved for residents and resort guests. The beach is quieter and less developed than fully public beaches, partly due to limited access points. Those staying at the estate enjoy direct, convenient beach access and resort services, while day visitors should confirm available public access routes before visiting.

The best time to visit is during the dry winter months from May to September, offering pleasant weather with temperatures around 20-25°C, clear skies, and lower humidity. Water remains warm year-round thanks to the Mozambique Current. For fewer crowds and better availability at the estate resort, visit during shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) outside South African school holidays. Summer (December-February) brings warmer conditions but higher rainfall and more visitors. Weekdays are consistently quieter than weekends. The beach's association with the upscale estate means it rarely feels overcrowded. Early mornings and late afternoons provide the best light for the scenic coastal landscape.
