Now in the next phase, a professional mural painter Gillian Waldeck was hired to give the appearance of the buildings and environment a face lift.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ganter explained that the beach has become a popular destination once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter Covid the beach became very popular again,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_5a93cb22\">\n<div class=\"text\">It is one of those beaches that is often overlooked because of Muizenberg and Fish Hoek beaches, so we have made an effort for it to be a space where tourists and locals would gather.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the murals on the ablution block, Ganter said the idea was to showcase local sea life and fishers as an educational element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are educational aspects to show the sea life above and below the ocean,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt shows the people using the ocean and depicts key ocean life such as whales, penguins, otters, local fish and divers from the area.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another component to the murals is showcasing trek fishing which is local to False Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the old-style trek fishing which takes place at only two spots in False Bay,\u201d said Ganter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe pump station that was run down is now depicting a shipwreck on the walls as well as orcas, dolphins, wildlife and everything that is local to the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_a6a07405\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12739\/6949cdd1b0484791b64ec4305aa5081f.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/37251f589c174bcf80de9f1834af1f35.jpg\" title=\"A group of Simon\u2019s Town residents joined forces to create colourful murals as a means to uplift Long Beach.

I\u2019d like to thank everyone who created this opportunity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Ganter joined forces with residents to apply for a City of Cape Town permit to paint murals on the City buildings, their shared vision is finally coming to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been wonderful to be able to be part of serving some cheer in creating this mural,\u201d she shared. \u201cI was approached by Richard Ganter, a philanthropist and resident in Simon\u2019s Town who had been searching for an artist to uplift Long Beach in Simon\u2019s Town.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday 21 February, local children joined in to bring their imagination to the mural wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have used flexi-paint favoured by contractors for durability and will be sealing the end result,\u201d she said of the quality paints used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will be following with environmental\/painting workshops for kids around the mural where kids can add their signature to the
