Located on South Africa's Atlantic coast, at the foot of the Twelve Apostles mountains, Beach Camps Bay is a picturesque destination. With its fine white sand and clear water, it's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
However, the water temperature can be quite cold and high tidal waves can make swimming unsafe for children. Nonetheless, visitors can enjoy relaxing, picnicking, surfing, and yachting.
The beach offers rental equipment and a variety of restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs. The best time to visit is from November to March when the water is warmer and the air temperature is comfortable.
Accommodation options are available in the fashionable Camps Bay area, and food options range from cafes and bars to gourmet restaurants with high prices. Other activities include windsurfing, kitesurfing, and visiting Table Mountain for stunning views and endemic forests.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty of the beach and its perfect location for taking photos, as well as the variety of places for partying and dining. However, some visitors complain about the cold water and the presence of paid umbrellas and chairs.
Most visitors to Camps Bay choose to stay in the fashionable Camps Bay area itself, which offers a range of accommodations within walking distance of the beach. Others prefer the nearby city of Cape Town, which provides easy access to both the beach and other attractions like Table Mountain.
