Vlogger Mistakes Cape Town Sea Foam for Fun—Ends Up Swimming in Sewage
So here's something straight out of a travel nightmare—and somehow still hilarious. A video recently went viral featuring travel vlogger Michelle Sky Hayward taking a dip in what she thought was a magical, foamy ocean off the coast of Cape Town. What she didn’t know? That beautiful white foam wasn’t part of some dreamy beach experience. It was sewage. Yep, actual sewage water.
Now, picture this: she’s all smiles, recording herself swimming through thick, frothy sea foam. She laughs and says, “I’m having so much fun I don’t even feel cold.” Everything looks Instagram-perfect—until reality hits. She takes in a mouthful of water and blurts out, “Oh! It’s salty.” Little did she know, that salty taste wasn’t just from seawater. As viewers quickly pointed out, the foam came from a nearby sewer pipe. Comments started flooding in, some warning, some downright savage.

One user wrote, “That foam is turds,” while another added, “Can someone tell her that is kake water. SEWAGE WATER!!” People weren't holding back. Another viewer pointed out that she had “brown stuff on her face after going through the foam”—a visual no one needed, really, but it drove the point home. Her stunned face in the video? Priceless. It's the moment it all clicked that this wasn’t the kind of “immersive” local experience she had signed up for.
To her credit, Michelle handled it with some humor. In the caption, she admitted, “I fear I have made a terrible mistake.” And mistake or not, the video has now racked up over 6 million views on Instagram. Whether people were watching to laugh or cringe, one thing’s for sure: she gave the internet a moment it won’t forget soon.
Some users tried to play it down, saying sea foam can naturally form due to decomposing organic matter and may not always be sewage. But judging by the smell, color, and, well, Michelle’s face afterward—it’s hard not to assume the worst.
At the end of the day, it's a hilarious, slightly horrifying reminder: when you're traveling, always check what you're diving into—literally.
