About This Guide
Just minutes from the city centre, Camps Bay feels like a world away. The broad beach draws a beautiful crowd, the promenade hums with energy, and the clifftop villas command views that have made this suburb one of Africa's most desirable addresses. Hotels here tend to be boutique in scale but extravagant in outlook.
Insider Tips
Book restaurants on the beachfront promenade well in advance during December–January.
Chapman's Peak Drive, just south of Camps Bay, is one of the world's great scenic roads.
The beach is lifeguarded and generally safe; rip currents can be strong so stay alert.
