 Blouberg
or
Bloubergstrand is a suburb of Cape Town located on the shores of Table
Bay, about 25km to the north of the city centre. Its name in Afrikaans
means "blue mountain beach" after Blouberg, a hill not far inland from
the coast.
It is mainly residential
and attracts large numbers of visitors, both from the city, from other
parts of South Africa and from overseas. Bloubergstrand is known for its
white sandy beaches and the location from which the classic view of Table
Mountain is seen. |

Beaches in Bloubergstrand,
Cape Town
 Big
Bay is one of two Bloubergstrand beaches – the other is called Little
Bay (or Small Bay) – and is a favourite surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing
spot, drawing international enthusiasts to annual competitions.
Not only does Blouberg have
a great family beach, but the longer Big Bay Beach is perfect for sun tanning,
walking, flying kites or simply relaxing. If you can manage the rather
chilly water of the Atlantic Ocean, swimming and bodysurfing are both safe
and fun. A rocky point divides the descriptively named Big Bay and Little
Bay Beaches of Blouberg. There are several shops and eateries along the
beachfront road.
For the best photos of Cape
Town's beaches and that perfect view, Blouberg is the spot from which the
the best postcard images are taken. Don’t miss the awesome sunset views
– watch the face of Table Mountain turn golden as the setting sun blazes
across the Atlantic Ocean. |
