Camps Bay
Camps Bay is the Atlantic beach suburb under the Twelve Apostles. People stay here for the sand, the sunset, and a dinner with the mountain behind them.

Camps Bay Holiday
Camps Bay can be summed up in one glorious image: a palm-lined boulevard looking out over a sweeping blue bay, clinking cocktail glasses filling the air as Cape Town's most glamorous residents and visitors mingle. If you want to experience what a Cape Town summer is all about, put Camps Bay on your holiday itinerary.
What to do in Camps Bay
Situated just a 15-minute drive from the city centre or V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay was made for Cape Town’s December – February mid-summer months. On hot sunny days the beach is busy, the sea bracing and the atmosphere stylish. Cafés, bars and restaurants line the main road and it’s almost impossible not to be tempted to stop off for lunch or, since Camps Bay faces the Atlantic Ocean sunset, an early evening cocktail.
Staying in Camps Bay
Yet despite the glitz and glamour, Camps Bay remains a casual, unhurried destination and is as suitable for families with children as much as it is for honeymooners or groups of friends. There’s a wide range of Camps Bay holiday accommodation to suit all tastes as well as local shops and easy access to Table Mountain and the rest of the Peninsula. You’ll enjoy beautiful ocean and sunset views too: Camps Bay's hotels, private villas and guesthouses sit on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles mountain range whose towering peaks loom over the beach.

Where to go
When to go
November to March
Cape summer. This is when Camps Bay earns the room rate. Pair it with a green-season Kruger, or accept that the safari will be in the rains.
May to September
Cooler and often windy. Still a fine Cape stay, and the better pairing with a dry winter safari.
Travel advice
Wind
The Cape blows. Have a second plan that is not the beach. The waterfront and the Winelands both work.
Driving
Drive on the left. Camps Bay to Cape Point is an easy day. Do not start a Garden Route drive the afternoon you land.

Costs
Camps Bay is a city-beach rate, higher in December and January, and not a park-fee safari.
It belongs on a Cape Town quote. International flights are the large line outside it.
