Activities
The most popular activity in Muizenberg is surfing. There are at least 5 surf shops that are also surf schools, all in walking distance. They offer surfing classes and hiring of surfing gear, and sell all surfing paraphernalia. The details for these surf schools is in the Whale Watchers information pack, which guests will find in their apartment.
Further Details
Enjoy amazing beach walks, with a 36km stretch of gently sloping, uninterrupted white sandy beaches beckoning to the west, and a coastal boardwalk meandering southwards. Taking the latter route leads you through the neighbouring village of St James [where you can cool-off in the tidal pool], and on to the quaint fishing village of Kalk Bay, where you can enjoy lunch at one of many excellent restaurants before walking, or taking the train back to Muizenberg.
Hiking in Table Mountain National Park is a popular activity where a myriad of trails and a labyrinth of caves can be explored.
Both the world-renowned Boulder's Beach Penguin Colony and Cape Point Nature Reserve are located nearby, as is Chapman's Peak Drive and the Constantia Wine Route (all within 20km).
Whale-watching is a favourite pastime in the False Bay area from early August through to mid-October each year. Enjoy whale-viewing by taking a stroll along the coastline for intimate views of these fascinating, gigantic mammals frolicking in the sunshine.
Kalk Bay, a quaint fishing village and harbour is within walking distance where bartering with the colourful local fishermen for the catch of the day is a popular local custom. The village has a bohemian atmosphere and a morning spent exploring the various curio shops, antique dealers, restaurants, coffee shops and art dealers is a rewarding experience.
Simons Town (historic head quarters of the South African Navy) is a short drive away and offers a naval museum, interesting toy museum, dockside restaurants, trips to Seal Island and penguin watching at Boulders Beach.
Central Cape Town, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island and The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront are all within a radius of 35 minutes by road.
