Coastal Cruising with The Wild Buggers Beach Buggy Club

The latest run for our beach buggy club was a world-class success as we cruised through the Western Cape. This beach buggy club outing took us to the Oceana Power Boat Club, where the VW air-cooled engines and coastal views were top-notch. Whether you were in a custom beach buggy, a rugged baja bug, or a classic beetle, the VW air-cooled spirit was alive and well on the road.

Once we anchored at the harbor, the Wild Buggers crew enjoyed a top-class social with the best company. We had the braai fires going for our Wild Buggers feast while watching the boats zip past. This Wild Buggers event wasn’t just about our baja bug and classic beetle vehicles; it was about the laughs and world-class banter that make our beach buggy club so special. Explore the photos below to see why being part of the Wild Buggers is the best way to live the VW air-cooled lifestyle.
