Just a ten-minute drive from the center of cosmopolitan Cape Town is the attractive Camps Bay Beach. The fashionable enclave is a dynamic area that is home to a thriving beach community bustling with shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. The beach itself is made up of fine white sand that sits before a backdrop of curved hills.
It’s the perfect hang-out for keen surfers – who love the big crashing waves – and walkers, who also enjoy the landscape and the many excellent hiking trails in the area. Swimming here is for diehards only however, with chilling water temperatures, and there’s often a strong backwash. The charming enclave and its white sand is the ideal place to enjoy a break from city life. In the evenings, people gather along the shore for dinner in beachfront restaurants, where they sip on local wine, enjoy freshly caught fish, and watch the dazzlingly exquisite colors of the sunset.
