Camps Bay beach is long, soft and wide, edged with palm trees along the main road. It sits under the folds of Lion’s Head and the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range, just fifteen minutes’ drive from the city centre on the way to Hout Bay. Unlike some of Cape Town’s other beaches, Camps Bay has easy access to shops and restaurants, just across the road. These shiny chic restaurants are packed in summer with beautiful people, celebrities and young people out for a good time. Right next door is Glen Beach, where surfers go at all times of the day and in all weather. Behind the main strip, climbing up the hill, you’ll see huge mansions owned by both the local and international elite.
But there’s another side to the suburb. Because it’s an old, lived-in part of town, Camps Bay manages to be family friendly as well as trendy. The beach is clean and accessible for kids, the sea is usually gentle and there are some great rocks to explore. If you wander the back roads, moving further uphill, you find a quieter, more villagey atmosphere. You’ll come across some small historic houses, a lovely little fairy glen and of course, you’ll eventually walk right onto the mountain. From there you can clearly see the whole of Camps Bay, its curved white beach, and beyond.
In summer, Camps Bay is the ultimate fun busy place. In winter you have more breathing room but less of a scene. You can choose which is your thing, or, if you can get it right, come in spring or autumn when you get the perfect dose of good weather, good vibe and space. Whatever time you can be there, Camps Bay is a great choice for a base in Cape Town, as it is not only charming and social but a short drive away from Sea Point, the City Bowl and Waterfront.
