The Blyde in Pretoria East is a lifestyle estate with a crystal-clear lagoon and beach access. According to publicly available sources for 2025, the entrance to the beach area (Crystal Lagoon) for day visitors appears to be free for guests staying at the estate or those who have booked accommodation. Most listings and promotional materials highlight “free beach entrance” when booking through official accommodation partners[3].
However, there is no explicit confirmation of a set day visitor entrance fee for those not staying at the resort or not part of a registered group booking in the latest available sources. Recent social media posts encourage queries via WhatsApp and promote free entry with bookings, but do not advertise a public day visitor fee structure[1][2][3]. It is recommended to contact the estate or individual property hosts directly for up-to-date day visitor pricing or access rules.
If you have a room or apartment booking, or are part of a group package, beach/lifestyle center access comes included as part of your stay[3][4][5]. Group packages (as per recent listings) show rates around R500 per person per day for September, but this refers to bundled accommodation deals rather than a stand-alone day pass[3].
In summary: There is no published separate entrance fee for public day visitors; beach access is included with all accommodations. To avoid disappointment, always verify day visitor access directly with The Blyde before your visit.
