Camps Bay is an area not to be missed on a Cape Town holiday – one of the trendiest, most beautiful suburbs found in the Mother City. With a stretch of beach no less breathtaking than a postcard, and some of the city’s best bars and restaurants, it is no small wonder people flock to this seaside hubbub come rain or shine.
The Beach and Promenade
Camps Bay beach hosts Cape Town’s most beautiful people throughout the summer, with tanned bodies spread across the entire beach whenever the sun is out. This is the place to see and be seen, so be sure to wear your favourite pair of Gucci sun glasses if you want to fit in with this fashionable crowd.
If you want to catch a tan on your Cape Town holiday, this beach is just the place. You can spend hours lounging on the soft white sand, and when the sun gets too hot, you can take a quick dip in the sparking Atlantic Ocean water. Be warned, however, for this part of the ocean is freezing, and only the brave few can last in the water for more than a few minutes.
If you want to stretch your legs instead of lying on the sand all day, a picturesque promenade borders the beach. Roller-skaters glide on by, couples eating ice creams admire the view, and those who want to strut their stuff parade down the sidewalk. If you fancy sampling some of the world’s best ice cream, Sinful Ice Cream parlour is known by all the locals. Delicious flavours from cookies and cream to pistachio and praline await you, and you can enjoy this creamy wonder as you stroll along the beachfront.
The Restaurants and Bars
Camps Bay is known for its vibrant restaurants and bars. There are few better things to do when on a Cape Town holiday than enjoy a fresh seafood meal whilst gazing out over the Camps Bay waters, smelling the salt in the air and watching the crowds strut by. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, and you can take your pick of tables in the sun as you enjoy seafood and cocktails.
At night the area becomes even more vibrant, with numerous trendy bars hosting the city’s elite along the beachfront. If you’re there on a Sunday afternoon, La Med is the place to be. With a relaxed atmosphere and a sunny outdoor area, this is one of the most popular choices along the beach.
Camps Bay Sunset: One of a Kind
Camps Bay has a reputation for having the most beautiful and picturesque sunset in Cape Town. And a tailor-made holiday in Cape Town will not be complete until you have spent at least one evening watching the sun go down over the sea. Each evening, picnickers flock down to the beach, and enjoy sundowners and snacks while sitting on the sand. Camps Bay is one of the best beaches on the Atlantic Seaboard for sunsets, where the sun literally appears to be sinking into the sea, against a pink and purple sky.
