Cape Town’s upscale suburb of Camps Bay is famous for its picturesque Camps Bay Beach and the majestic Twelve Apostles mountain range. The beach offers a wide variety of activities, with rolling waves, tidal pools, restaurants, shops, and even a theater. Right next door is Glen Beach, which challenges even the most advanced surfers with its powerful waves. Across the street from the beach lies Café Caprice, a lively drinking spot featuring well-crafted cocktails and unobstructed beach views. For sumptuous bites of seafood and sips of aromatic wine, book a reservation at Paranga, a prime dining spot.
