Walk description

The V&A Waterfront is one of Africa's most visited destinations, boasting 24 million visitors annually. Situated in the oldest working harbor in the southern hemisphere, with the iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop and extensive views of the ocean, city bowl, and mountain peaks, this is where the T&F Africa team will begin their walk. Starting from the Breakwater Boulevard entrance of the V&A Waterfront, the team will embark on a scenic journey along Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard. Locals like to walk along the promenade because it meanders through some of Cape Town’s trendiest suburbs and entertainment areas. First, the walk will go through the suburb of Green Point with its vibrant atmosphere comprising local pubs, clubs, and cabaret restaurants, which serve as popular hangouts for locals and visitors alike. The promenade continues through Sea Point's beachfront from Mouille Point to Bantry Bay. This area is Cape Town’s most public and popular space, featuring an outdoor gym, adventure playground, and public art, to name a few attractions. The team will take in the beautiful ocean views and vibrant local culture as they walk along this stretch. The walk proceeds through the luxurious suburb of Bantry Bay, offering dramatic coastal views and lavish homes perched on the cliffs. As the team approaches Clifton, they will see the famous Clifton Beaches, known for their pristine sands and crystal-clear waters, ideal for a quick rest and some beach time. Finally, the team will reach Camps Bay Beach, located between the suburbs of Bakoven and fashionable Clifton. Camps Bay Beach is the Blue Flag beauty among a string of trendy Atlantic Seaboard beaches along this scenic stretch of coastline. The team will stop at one of Camps Bay’s restaurants for refreshments after 8.8 km. They will then walk back 3.7 km to Bantry Bay, making the entire walk a full 12.5 km, where food and drinks will be enjoyed, bringing this scenic walk to an exciting end.
