Beach

Camps Bay Beach has been a Blue Flag Beach since 2008 and offers a seasonal lifeguard station with restrooms. You cannot miss the longest white sandy beach right opposite Camps Bay’s main tourist centre.

Scuba diving

There is a popular scuba diving spot near Camps Bay called Lui Bay or Witsand, where two shipwrecks can be explored. The Antipolis and Romelia, two scrap vessels, lay aground in 1977 and the hull of the Antipolis is visible at low tide.

Surfing

Camps Bay’s best surfing beach is Glen Beach, hidden behind large boulders at the far right of Camps Bay beach. Experience home-grown atmosphere at Glen Beach, which is one of the hardest of Cape Town’s beach breaks to surf thanks to short, fast rides and a small take-off area.

Paragliding

If you are intrigued by the paragliders that you will see floating down from Signal Hill, the mountain abutting the famous Lion’s Head, you can go tandem and experience this thrill for yourself, or simply watch the colourful canopies from the comfort of your sun lounger.

Sports

Cycling enthusiasts can take on Victoria Road and head towards Hout Bay via Chapman’s Peak for their early morning exercise. The mind-blowing Atlantic Ocean views are entirely complementary. Rent your cycle from one of the local operators who will deliver it to you in Camps Bay.
