This
popular holiday
and
residential
suburb
of Cape Town
is situated
on the
south Atlantic coastline. It occupies the slopes of the Twelve Apostles
mountain range which dominates the skyline between Table Mountain and
Hout Bay.
To reach Camps Bay you follow Victoria road which winds along the coastline from Seapoint alongside the high rise apartment blocks and four trendy beaches of Clifton, down past Glen Beach and the Bay Hotel - and you're there. Alternatively, for a quicker ride, take the steep Kloof Nek road from central Cape Town up over Kloof Nek, skirting Table Mountain and on down Camps Bay Drive. The mountain slopes and coastal region here is characterised by huge ancient granite outcrops and wide sandy beaches, with the rugged mountain peaks prominent in the background.

It offers fashionable entertainment, restaurants and shopping, across the road from scenic, sunswept sandy beaches, bordered by palms and shady boulders. The only disadvantage if you like swimming, is the cold Atlantic water, but sun tanning, and beach sports like volleyball are ever popular and the fantastic view from the beach of the mountains makes it well worth the time you spend there. Some exclusive luxury holiday accommodation is offered here on the Atlantic Seaboard.
