    ATLANTIC SEABOARDHANG OUT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

    Catch some rays, or a wave, at the beaches of Clifton, reputedly among

    the loveliest and sexiest in the world.

    SEE THE SUN SET

    Sip a cocktail at one of the many bars and restaurants in Camps Bay and

    watch the sun sink into the sea.

    GET OUT ON THE MOUNTAIN

    The Seaboard is not all about flash there are many hiking trails, mostly

    in the lovely Table Mountain National Park. There are views aplenty, and

    an abundance of incredible indigenous fauna and flora to appreciate.

    EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY

    Some of the best restaurants and nightspots are on the Atlantic Seaboard

    meander along the sea and have breakfast in Mouille Point, lunch in

    Sea Point and enjoy cocktails followed by dinner in Camps Bay.

    WALK, JOG, RUN

    Capetonians get fit on the Sea Point Promenade. But dont feel pressured

    the grassy areas are perfect for relaxing or a game of catch, and you can

    wander literally for miles along the crashing seafront.

    FIND A HIDEAWAY

    All along this stunning coastline are little beaches with far fewer visitors

    than youd expect. Park the car and walk along the road looking for the

    signs. You never know what youll find...

    HIT THE ROAD

    You can drive along the coast all the way from Sea Point, past the flash

    of Clifton, Camps Bay and L landudno, and beyond. Its an absoutely

    breathtaking drive, especially as the sun is setting over the sea, and there

    are several places to stop and take it all in. You can even continue the

    whole way to the famous Chapmans Peak Drive.

    Table Mountain offers some

    great hiking. The most popular

    route from the Camps Bay side

    is known as Kasteelspoort, or

    Castle Gate. Start from the

    parking at the Kloof Nek end of

    Tafelberg Road and ascend the

    Pipe Track the path will

    reward you with stunning views

    of the Twelve Apostles and the

    beaches at Camps Bay. Youll

    pass several of the reservoirs

    on Table Mountain the

    Kasteelspoort path was once

    an important route for getting

    water down to Camps Bay. You

    can choose to do a round route,

    or even hike to the Upper

    Cableway Station and take

    a ride down.

    Remember conditions on the

    mountain can be very changeable

    never go hiking without water

    and something warm and make

    sure to tell someone when toexpect you back.

    TAKE A HIKE...

    The Cape is home to the

    worlds richest floral kingdom,

    and the only one foundentirely in one country. Fynbos

    means fine bush, referring

    to the small leaves which

    are perfectly designed for

    the warm climate. The Cape

    Floral Kingdom is incredibly

    diverse Table Mountain has

    more than 2 200 species of

    plant, more than the entire

    United Kingdom, and types of

    fynbos found just in the Cape

    account for about one in five

    of all African plant species.

    The Cape Floral Region is a

    World Heritage Site, and many

    projects undertake to protect

    this precious asset, with the

    main threats being fire and the

    invasions of alien species.

    FYNBOS: THE PRIDE OF THE CAPE

    With its dramatic backdrop

    of the Twelve Apostles, part

    of the Table Mountain range,

    Camps Bay is a popular spot

    for hang-gliding, paragliding

    and micro-lighting. Contact

    Cape Town Tourism for

    operators, or watch the action

    from the safety of terra firma.

    TAKE TO THE AIR

    Start at Sea Point and wind

    your way along Victoria Road

    (M6) all the way to Hout Bay.

    With views stretching away

    to the horizon, its utterly

    magnificent. Youll pass the

    dramatic peaks of the Twelve

    Apostles, which form the back

    of the Table Mountain range,

    and the expanse of the Table

    Mountain National Park keep

    your eyes peeled to spot the

    Upper Cableway Station.Continue past the roadside

    craft market at Koel Bay, the

    posh Twelve Apostles Hotel and

    Spa towards Llandudno and
