About the area... Camps Bay is an affluent suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. In the European winter it is a hotspot of European tourists as well as local South Africans down for a beach holiday. Named after an invalid sailor, Ernst Friedrich von Kamptz, who settled there in 1778, Camps Bay is located at the back of Table Mountain, the Table Mountain cableway and the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range. The surf is strong and there is no resident lifeguard, but a rescue helicopter patrols regularly. The grass verge flanked by the Camps Bay tidal pool offers shady, wind-free barbecue spots. Trendy Shops, restaurants, chemist, banks and police station are close to the beach. |
