If you’re visiting Cape Town, I certainly hope you like sunsets. In case it’s not already apparent, there are so many places for spectacular sunset viewing on the Cape.
Cape Town is appreciated and admired not only for its natural beauty, but also for its rich heritage and cultural gravitas. And the fact that it’s considered one of the top culinary destinations in the world only enhances its appeal.
Table Mountain’s next-door neighbor is considerably more beginner-friendly for hikers. At just over 3 miles long with a 1,600 ft elevation gain this hike will take you about 1.5 hours to get to the top and another hour to descend back down to sea level.
A popular activity for adrenaline junkies is paragliding off Signal Hill and out over the Atlantic. Don’t worry if you’ve never done it before! Your guide will be right behind you in a tandem paraglide and will make sure you land safely in the park below, near the shore.
Part of the draw to this coastal city is the access to so waves. There are plenty of surfing beaches in and around Cape Town for beginners all the way up to die-hard surfers. While Muizenberg is probably the most popular, other beaches such as Lluandudno, Big Bay, and Dungeons make for good surf spots as well.
