Cape Town, My City.

Beaches are cheap

It’s been said that when you want a list of things to do in Cape Town you’re faced with things like “go for a shark dive in a cage” or “shop at a really elitist mall” or “check out the wine farms”. Let’s face it, as far as cities go, this one kind of chows your money. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Why not take a stroll along the beach front at one of many Atlantic Seaboard or False Bay beaches?
Blouberg promenade, Camps Bay boulevard or Muizenberg beach are all great attractions. The shells at Eerste Steen beach in Blouberg is great free entertainment for you and the kids. What about taking a walk up Table Mountain instead of catching the cable car? Sure, it’s a bit more strenuous (and, please, keep to the signposted path!), but the views are equally magnificent. People watch at the V&A Waterfront, check out the seals near the Two Oceans Aquarium, drive up to Old Boyes Drive and see if you can spot a few whales!

Not everything in Cape Town is massively expensive. Sure, I can tell you a load of places that will charge you just for breathing the same air as them, but as a local who thinks ol’ CT is lekker, you don’t need to be a multi-millionaire to find things to do in Cape Town.
