South Africa’s mother city, Cape Town manages to mix a bustling city with laid-back beach vibes.

Beach Hotels in Cape Town

Like most large cities of the world, Cape Town has no shortage of hotels to suit every budget. From high-rise extravagant hotels to basic low-budget hotels, you will not have any trouble finding the right hotel in this city. When it comes to beach hotels, you will also be spoilt with incredible views from some and, should there not be a view, there is always the option of choosing a hotel that has the beach on its doorstep.

Beach Activities in Cape Town

With its vast diversity when it comes to culture, food and landscape, Cape Town is an exciting beachside city to be in.

For those looking for an active holiday then this is a good place to have one. The city has a number of beach activities to make the most out of, including surfing and volleyball. There is also the possibility of hiking to the top of Table Mountain; or abseiling to the bottom of it.

Beyond the city is then the Cape Peninsula, where vineyards and more epic scenery can be found. Take a day trip or plan a few nights away at a vineyard to soak up the very best of South African wine. Stellenbosch is probably the most well-known and within this area can be found popular and lesser-known wineries. Why not treat yourself to a night away somewhere like Franschhoek, a quaint and idyllic location that has some of the most magnificent vineyards close by and views that are to die for.

Beach Restaurants and Bars in Cape Town

Cape Town is, of course, well primed for good food and drink. Home to some of the world’s most incredible vineyards, you will be overwhelmed by the choice of wines to sample. When it comes to food, the South African love a good barbecue (or Braai as it’s locally known). Venture to one of the city’s classic Braai restaurants for a classic meat-filled meal. There are also some great vegetarian and seafood restaurants in the city if meat is not your thing. Visit Bree Street, one of the city’s hippest and most diverse streets when it comes to food selection and cool places to hang out in the evening.
