The Table Mountain National Park includes all of the coastal waters around the Cape Peninsula, from Mouille Point in the west to Bailey’s Cottage in the east.
This is one of the most diverse and productive stretches of coastline in South Africa. The Cape Peninsula is also rich in marine species endemic to Southern Africa, some of which are even endemic to this change-over region.
The shores of the Cape Peninsula are one of the great tourist attractions of Cape Town as well as being one of the most spectacular sites for scuba diving. Divers will be required to hold a permit to be allowed to dive in certain MPA’s.
