Sea Point – Cape Town, South Africa
“Sea Point is Cape Town’s cool beachfront face: an oceanside ’burb heaving with quirky local businesses, and with enviable transport links to nearby beaches like Clifton and Camps Bay. Home to a mix of long-term families, young professionals, creative types and immigrant communities, Sea Point is known throughout Cape Town for the spine-tingling sunset views on its seven-mile Beach Road promenade, and for Regent Street: the neighbourhood’s main road and a hub of hot hotels and lip-smackingly diverse food options.
The perfect day Kick off with a morning swim at the Sea Point Pavilion, then head to Mojo Market for a choice of at least 30 vendors offering bagels, coffee, fresh juices and even a mussel and oyster bar. Work your way around Regent Street’s vast array of shopping options before packing up a picnic ready for a light lunch on the beach – then why not kayak out into the Atlantic to spot some dolphins? Back on dry land, you should walk along the promenade at dusk before sitting down at La Perla: a restaurant known for its seafood dishes and elevated tables ideal for gawping at the sunset.
Plan your trip The warmer months from November to April are the time to visit, especially if you can catch ace annual events like March’s Cape Town International Jazz Festival.” Yazeed Kamaldien, Contributor, South Africa
