Mouille Point to Muizenberg
A drive from Mouille Point to Muizenberg feels like an adventure on its own. The road winds through mountain slopes, with high-up views of the sea and even glimpses of the harbour. It’s the kind of drive where your eyes do all the work, looking around and appreciating what’s there (COLOMBO SRI LANKA SIGHTSEEING).
Located within
Table Mountain National Park, Karbonkelberg is a rugged mountain rising to 653
meters. It offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Hout Bay, and Table
Mountain. There are hiking trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging
routes, surrounded by rich flora and fauna. The area also has historic
shipwreck sites and old lime kilns, making it both scenic and historically
interesting.
Once you’re there, it’s hard to stop with just one photo. The views are so captivating, you’ll keep snapping photos or enjoying the current moment in time (WHAT TO DO IN KERALA, INDIA).
Camps Bay, along with Clifton and Llandudno, features some of the most scenic beaches in Cape Town. Camps Bay is known for its palm-lined beachfront and lively atmosphere. Clifton’s four beaches are separated by giant granite boulders and offer white sand and clear waters. Llandudno Beach is quiet, less crowded, and surrounded by cliffs and greenery, perfect for a peaceful moment by the sea.
Located on the
False Bay coast, Fish Hoek is one of the safest beaches in Cape Town. Its calm
waters and gentle shoreline make it ideal for swimming, especially for
families. Along the promenade, you’ll find cafés and small eateries, a good
spot to enjoy a view of the bay and nearby mountains.
Seafood is a popular choice here. Meals often begin with bread and salad, followed by a seafood platter. Steamed lobster in seawater is considered a must-try in Cape Town. You can also go for fish skewers served with rice and lemon wedges. Portions are generous, in fact, the lobster alone can be filling for a small eater. After your meal, take some time to relax on the beach.
Hout Bay is where you can take a boat ride to Duiker Island, also known as Seal Island. The ride can be rough, with waves splashing near the rocks, but it’s an exciting sea adventure. You’ll see large numbers of Cape Fur Seals lounging on the rocks. Once back at the harbour, there’s often music or street performances that add to the lively atmosphere.
One of the most unique things to do in Cape Town is visiting the African penguins at Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town. This is the only place in the world where you can swim near penguins. These black-and-white penguins go about their day undisturbed, and you can walk along wooden boardwalks to view them up close.
Cape Point,
often mistaken for the southernmost tip of Africa, is known for its
breathtaking views and rich natural surroundings. It’s where the Atlantic and
Indian Oceans meet, creating a stunning contrast of deep blue waters. The area
is part of Table Mountain National Park and is home to rugged cliffs, rare
plants, and wildlife like baboons, antelope, and seabirds.
Within Cape Point lies the famous Cape of Good Hope, once a feared stretch of sea for sailors, now a popular tourist landmark. Its dramatic cliffs and rocky coastline are a symbol of South Africa’s maritime past.
Don’t leave Cape Point without taking the Flying Dutchman Funicular. This short cable railway takes you up to the Cape Point Lighthouse, built in 1859. The ride itself gives you new views of the coastline. From the top, the cliffs tower over 200 meters above the ocean, the view is absolutely striking.
