Although it's only 18km (11mi) from the city centre, Llandudno seems completely removed from Cape Town, let alone Africa. It's a small, exclusive seaside village clinging to steep slopes above a sheltered beach. Head to Llandudno if you want to get to Sandy Bay, Cape Town's nudist beach and gay stomping ground. It's a beautiful stretch of sand and you don't have to get naked if you don't want to.
