Also known as Cape Town’s Riviera, the Atlantic Seaboard is a beautiful strip of coastline running from the V&A Waterfront to Llandudno.
Palm-tree lined beaches, a buzzing café society, winebars spilling out onto pavements and modern villas, modish apartments and elaborate mansions all contribute to the atmosphere that is young, trendy and all about fun – especially in summer. Pastel coloured scooters weave between the holiday traffic, music blares from pavement cafés and toned, tanned bodies adorn the beaches while luxury yachts at anchor in the bay complete the idyllic image of Cape Town’s own paradise.
