| Camps
Bay is an affluent suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. In the African
winter it is a hotbed of European tourists as well as local South Africans
down for a beach holiday. It hosts beach volleyball tournaments as well
as a refreshing nightlife. Camps Bay is named after an invalid sailor,
Ernst Friedrich von Kamptz, who settled there in 1778. The back of
Table Mountain, the Table Mountain cableway and the Twelve Apostles Mountain
Range form a backdrop to the Camps Bay family beach.
The
stunning setting, pristine white sands and dazzling blue waters leave no
doubt as to why Camps Bay Beach was awarded Blue Flag Beach status. |

 One
of the few Cape Town beaches on the Western Seaboard that is not protected
from the south east wind, Camps Bay Beach is still very popular and quite
frenetic with families, stylish singles, tourists, the lot. Camps Bay Beach
is really wide, backed by a row of palm trees, a busy road and a bank of
fashionable restaurants and coffee shops that overlook the beach. And it's
one of the best sunset spots. In the summer months it’s not uncommon to
spot famous faces who are regular visitors to Cape Town with the paparazzi
lurking incognito behind beach umbrellas.Mediterranean and vibey, the ultra
wide Camps Bay Beach hosts numerous events like the international beach
volleyball tournaments and the popular Summer Beach Festival. Lifeguards
are on duty during the summer and beach vendors stroll about supplying
beach bums with ice creams and cold drinks.If you have young kids or just
hate munching sand with your picnic, then grab a spot on the lawn next
to the tidal pool – you can even braai here and children can swim safely
without fear of being swept off to Australia. And if you’re feeling energetic,
there’s a great walk from Camps Bay Beach to neighbouring Glen Beach, a
stunning little cove with good surf. From there you can stroll past Maiden's
Cove, Bachelor's Cove and finally to Clifton 4th Beach. Take Victoria Road
for a brisk march back to Camps Bay beachfront. At the end of a tough day
soaking up the sun’s rays, wander over to one of the many stylish beachfront
restaurants and bars for sun-downers and the spectacular sunsets. |
