Camp’s Bay is a highly popular beach in Cape Town, walking onto it is like stepping into a postcard. Near to many other attractions that the city holds, it comes highly recommended by many Cape Town visitors and inhabitants.

Camp’s Bay beach feels like a dream due to its unique appearance in comparison to the other Cape Town beaches and its suburb beauty. Coming into the actual suburb of Camp’s Bay, the first thing that always strikes me is the luxury of the area which contains houses with elevators and many a mansion. I would put it down to a case of: You get what you pay for, because with it’s white beaches, palm-tree lined beach front and stunning view of the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range, Lion’s Head and Table Mountain it is easy to see why someone with enough money would wish to own a piece of it.

Camp’s Bay beach is in a prime spot in Cape Town, for example, the last time I visited the area I came in the morning when the beach was fairly empty, had lunch at one of the numerous cafés in the area, socialized with the young, vibrant crowd and then joined a group of them in the evening for drinks at a nearby club (of which there are a few).

Besides for cafés, the area also contains bistros and restaurants serving foods such as seafood, sushi and Mediterranean. Being incredibly close to the centre of Cape Town, other clubs, restaurants and many shops are also easily accessible.

As for the beach itself, this area of the Atlantic sea is calm and good for swimming and is popular with surfers in its northern section. At the Southern end is a seawater pool for wading and children. And besides, if you don’t like it, the equally popular Clifton Beach is only a short distance away!
