The apartment-lined Atlantic seaboard just west of the centre — a long, buzzy seafront promenade, a diverse café and restaurant scene, and easy access to both the city and the beaches. Relaxed, walkable and safer-feeling than downtown, with sea air and sunsets; a lovely, well-located base between the Waterfront and Camps Bay.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 10.The Sea Point Promenade — A wide, breezy seafront promenade running for kilometres along the Atlantic — where all of Cape Town walks, jogs, skates and gathers at sunset, past public art, tidal pools and lawns, with the ocean crashing beside you. Free, lively and democratic (a rare shared public space); a wonderful stroll, especially as the sun sinks.
- 11.Sunset at Signal Hill — The low ridge beside Lion's Head, reached by an easy drive — the classic spot to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic over the city and Robben Island, drink in hand, as Cape Town lights up below. Bring a picnic and a bottle for the sundowner; and listen for the Noon Gun, fired from the hill every day at midday since 1806.
