FALSE BAY COASTAL SUBURBS
|
|
|
|
|
| False Bay Coastal Suburbs, Cape
Peninsula: Less trendy than the Atlantic
Seaboard, the False Bay coast enjoys warmer waters (Indian Ocean) making it a popular
family destination. Muizenberg is long beach popular with local surfers and St James and
Kalk Bay have tidal pools which are safe for children to enjoy. Kalk Bay is an artsy
destination with antique, decor and coffee shops lining the main road whilst Fish Hoek is
a sleepy town, unspoilt by development. The naval town of Simon's Town and famous penguin
colony at Boulder's Beach are well worth a visit. |
