Bloubergstrand

The Cape Town suburb of Bloubergstrand is situated on the Blaauwberg Coast about 20 minutes drive from the Cape Town city centre and about 30 minutes from Cape Town's Airport. The town owes its name to a nearby hill which appears blue when viewed from vessels approaching Table Bay, and was originally named Blaauwberg (Blue Mountain) by the Dutch.
