Sea Point

Nestled between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean, Sea Point is a highly popular and sought-after residential and entertainment suburb close to Cape Town central.

Up the hill you’ll find plenty of high-rise apartment blocks which give way to a beautiful promenade along the ocean shore, complete with grassy recreational areas, parks and a few points of interest. Locals and visitors alike take leisurely strolls along the promenade while taking in the absolutely stunning scenery. A major landmark is the Pavillion Swimming Pool located on Lower Beach Road; an Olympic-sized, sea-water public pool that has been in use since the 1950s. To entice you even further, Sea Point boasts a remarkable amount of restaurants and night life venues, all within close distance to many other Cape Town attractions.
