Camps Bay
Camps Bay – The Malibu of South Africa
Cape Town’s most photographed beach, framed by the dramatic Twelve Apostles mountain range and lined with a strip of restaurants and bars made for long, unhurried sundowners. The white sand and turquoise water draw comparisons to the Mediterranean, though the Atlantic here stays bracingly cold year-round. Arrive for golden hour, when the light on the mountains turns the whole bay a shade of amber worth the trip alone.
