ATLANTIC SEABOARDHANG OUT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Catch some rays, or a wave, at the beaches of Clifton, reputedly among
the loveliest and sexiest in the world.
SEE THE SUN SET
Sip a cocktail at one of the many bars and restaurants in Camps Bay and
watch the sun sink into the sea.
GET OUT ON THE MOUNTAIN
The Seaboard is not all about flash there are many hiking trails, mostly
in the lovely Table Mountain National Park. There are views aplenty, and
an abundance of incredible indigenous fauna and flora to appreciate.
EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY
Some of the best restaurants and nightspots are on the Atlantic Seaboard
meander along the sea and have breakfast in Mouille Point, lunch in
Sea Point and enjoy cocktails followed by dinner in Camps Bay.
WALK, JOG, RUN
Capetonians get fit on the Sea Point Promenade. But dont feel pressured
the grassy areas are perfect for relaxing or a game of catch, and you can
wander literally for miles along the crashing seafront.
FIND A HIDEAWAY
All along this stunning coastline are little beaches with far fewer visitors
than youd expect. Park the car and walk along the road looking for the
signs. You never know what youll find...
HIT THE ROAD
You can drive along the coast all the way from Sea Point, past the flash
of Clifton, Camps Bay and L landudno, and beyond. Its an absoutely
breathtaking drive, especially as the sun is setting over the sea, and there
are several places to stop and take it all in. You can even continue the
whole way to the famous Chapmans Peak Drive.

The Cape is home to the
worlds richest floral kingdom,
and the only one foundentirely in one country. Fynbos
means fine bush, referring
to the small leaves which
are perfectly designed for
the warm climate. The Cape
Floral Kingdom is incredibly
diverse Table Mountain has
more than 2 200 species of
plant, more than the entire
United Kingdom, and types of
fynbos found just in the Cape
account for about one in five
of all African plant species.
The Cape Floral Region is a
World Heritage Site, and many
projects undertake to protect
this precious asset, with the
main threats being fire and the
invasions of alien species.
FYNBOS: THE PRIDE OF THE CAPE
With its dramatic backdrop
of the Twelve Apostles, part
of the Table Mountain range,
