In recent years, Sea Point has steadily become one of Cape Town’s most popular, outdoorsy and food-conscious suburbs.
Thanks to its gorgeous ocean and mountain views, impeccable sunsets and vibrant outdoor and indoor spaces – it makes for a very family-friendly and all-round great place to go for some food, fun and good times in the sun!
As one of Cape Town’s most popular areas for residing and visits, Sea Point makes itself felt in so many wonderful ways, offering fun food spots, outdoor gyms and sunset strolls of note.
