Kalk Bay Harbour

Reviewed By 964AnneM964 - Simon's Town, South Africa

I have been visiting Kalk Bay Harbour for many years. It's a working harbour - so they keep it real with seagulls and fish smells! The walk along the pier (in good weather only!) and the many eating options make this a great place to visit. You Cann also purchase lovely fresh fish straight off the boats!

Jubilee Square & Jetty, Simon's Town

Historic Square and Jetty in the heart of Simon's Town with many interesting exhibits, including the statue of Just Nuisance. Also the departure point for Whale watching and Shark diving within False Bay. This attraction offers something for everyone.

Just sitting there on a bench and looking at the view is amazing. I never go to Simonstown without going to Jubilee Square and Jetty and spend some time there. It is absolutely beautiful. The view from there is amazing.

Vergelegen Picnic

Reviewed By Sheree2021 - Somerset West, South Africa

This picnic spot is like no other........ set in the most beautiful forest of camphor trees, each table, and a super big, comfy bean bag, are set apart allowing privacy, is just the most glorious way to enjoy a "picnic in style" - a lovely treat for a good friend and me! Our waiter Goodness was excellent & ensured 5-star service! The food was outstanding and we enjoyed a fabulous bottle of Vergelegen's Sauvignon Blanc. There was no rush and we could enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the most stunning place imaginable. A must for South African's as well as international guests!! Don't forget Somerset West when considering the Winelands - there are some amazing wine estates here too! We'll certainly be back for another picnic at Vergelegen!!

6. The Original Shoreline

Darling St & Buitenkant St, Cape Town Central 8000 South Africa +27 21 426 2157 [email protected] http://theoriginalshoreline.org.za

A self-guided walk through Cape Town’s history. We’ve uncovered a new route that traces the city’s original shoreline from the Castle of Good Hope to the V&A Waterfront. Along the way, we’ve found stories about the people, places and events that have shaped our history. From the Castle, the route passes distinct landmarks where historical events happened and historical figures made their mark.
