ATLANTIC SEABOARD - CAPE TOWN
|

|
|
|
| Atlantic Seaboard Destinations and
Attractions: The Atlantic Seaboard, also known as Cape Town’s
‘Riviera’, stretches from the Victoria
& Alfred Waterfront on the north shore of Table
Mountain all the way down the west side of the cape peninsula to Hout Bay.
This incredibly beautiful stretch of coast is connected by one of the most picturesque,
scenic drives along Victoria Road and properties on this stretch of South Africa’s Cote d’Azur
fetch unprecedented prices, now that this truly beautiful part of the coast is so sought
after. The Atlantic Seaboard never fails to buoy one’s spirits, with the glistening
Atlantic Ocean on one side and the magnificent slopes of Lion’s Head and the Twelve
Apostles on the other; one is easily transported by the sheer splendour of the setting.
Memorable sunsets on this side of the peninsular have made sundowners in Cape Town
something of a tradition and, although chilly, the sea offers a more than refreshing dip
on a typical hot day. |
