With its lovely promenade along the water’s edge and once-decorous blocks of flats, Sea Point is the Riviera of the Cape Peninsula. It is a vibrant, colourful suburb with a long High Street filled with every kind of shop, restaurant and consumer service imaginable. The various deli’s and eating houses along Sea Point Main Road are legendary.
Up the slopes of Signal Hill, away from the Atlantic Ocean, lie large, private villas that fetch into the millions for their views and proximity to the centre of Cape Town. Lining the famous Sea Point promenade that draws locals and visitors for walking and jogging or just people-watching, are Sea Point’s luxury beachfront and self-catering apartments - popular with the young and trendy or those with small families. A number of children’s parks run alongside the promenade and there is a chlorinated swimming pool at the pavilion.
