Overview
Camps Bay, neighbouring Clifton to its
south, is the name of one of the most popular beaches
in Cape Town as well as the seaside village next to it. On a sunny day
the beach is packed with sun worshippers, in summer many of them are tourists
from abroad enjoying South Africa's
warm climate while the northern hemisphere are experiencing the middle of
their winter. The town and beach are both family friendly but still popular
with the younger crowd as well. It also offers a variety of quality accommodation
and dining options.Camps Bay Beach The wide sandy beach also features a popular, palm tree-lined, grass embankment and braai areas. A beachfront road provides direct easy access to the beach and a number of coffee shops and bars as well as an up-market restaurant are located just beyond - all offering great beach and sea views. Beach-umbrellas and deck chairs are rented out. Beach volleyball is very popular at Camps Bay, it is a venue on the professional beach volleyball international tour. It is also not uncommon to sea paragliders heading for a beach landing after launching from nearby Table Mountain or Lion's Head. As elsewhere in the Cape the water can be quite chilly. Lifeguards are on duty. Outside showers are provided to wash the salt off your body after a dip in the ocean. A good selection of hotels and other accommodation are on offer within easy walking distance of the beach. For information on other Cape Town beaches click here.
