Camps Bay has a long history as a recreational retreat for visitors to Cape Town. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, day-trippers came to Camps Bay to picnic, swim in the tidal pools and admire the breathtaking scenery. Today, the village-like suburb is famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and its location between the azure Atlantic and the Twelve Apostles mountain range. It’s also a popular hangout for celebrities and the ultra-stylish, complete with 5-star boutique hotels and gourmet beachfront restaurants.

At the geographical and social heart of Camps Bay lies Camps Bay Beach, the suburb’s best place to see and be seen. A magical stretch of pure white sand fringed by the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. Come for a picnic or to brave the chilly waters of the Atlantic; or for a stroll along the palm-fringed boulevard with its trendy cafés, restaurants and shops. If you do decide to swim, make sure to stay within the areas designated by the lifeguards, as rip currents and waves can both be strong here. With its westward-facing views out across the ocean, Camps Bay Beach is also the ultimate sunset spot.

In summer, Camps Bay Beach can get crowded. If you’re looking for a little peace and quiet, consider driving 10 minutes south along scenic Victoria Road to Oudekraal beach instead. Once a refuge for escaped slaves, the beach is now an off-the-beaten-track destination for those in the know. It’s protected by massive granite boulders, allowing for wind-free sunbathing and calm waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. When you’ve had your fill of beach time, you’ll find shady picnic sites scattered beneath the neighboring milkwood trees. Bring your own meat and firewood, and spend the rest of the afternoon practicing the art of the South African braai.
