"Surrounded by gorgeous towering mountains and a beach with a breathtaking sea view, it is easy to see why Camps Bay is one of the most popular locations in Cape Town. Take a stroll down the palm tree-lined, Miami-style promenade, have a coffee or cocktail at the cafés and bars, explore the rock pools or swim in the proper waves or safer tidal pool - there is plenty to do for everyone!

"Der wohl bekanntesten & größte Strand von Kapstadt, so nah an der Stadt. Die Straße, welche aus der Stadt raus nach oben Richtung Tafelberg und Lion's Head führt und dann die beiden Berge passiert um von dort wieder nach unten zu gehen, führt euch direkt nach Camps Bay. Alleine der Weg nach unten ist eine Aussicht an sich. Der Strand an sich ist ihr weitläufig und liegt direkt vor der Promenade von Camps Bay. Ideal um dort den ganzen Tag zu verbringen, und Mittags zum lunchen in einem der Restaurants einzukehren. Lieben & Sonnen schirme können geliehen werden, was auch unbedingt zu empfehlen ist!! Achtet auf ausreichenden Sonnenschutz und unterschätzt die Kraft der UV-Strahlung nicht. "

"An iconic beach in Cape Town.
Beautiful crystal blue waters with pristine white sand.
The best beach to go to if you want to grab a bite or lunch afterwards. The Camps Bay Promenade has some of the best restaurants with the best views in Cape Town. Perfect for a post beach adventure.
Just check the wind before you go! It can get a little out of hand."
