The Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.
The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is for the young and the young at heart. It has beaches, restaurants, bars and accommodation with magnificent views. The white sand beaches of Hout Bay, Noordhoek and Llandudno are of the most beautiful in Cape Town.
Clifton, well known for its 4 secluded beaches, one of which has International Blue Flag status, and Camps Bay for its vibe and wonderful restaurants, attract crowds of sun-seekers. Family beaches include Scarborough, Camps Bay, Clifton fourth beach and Kommetjie.
The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, surfers and sea kayakers. Whales visit the coast (June to November) and the road between Kommetjie and Scarborough offer some of the best view sights in Cape Town. Most of the beaches are well protected from the south-easterly wind which makes it perfect for sunbathing. The cold water of the Atlantic Ocean makes for exhilarating swimming.
The Atlantic Seaboard is home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa. It offers a variety of accommodations to visitors, trendy bars, and beaches where the action is as hot as the weather.
