Cape Point

The official name is the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. What more can be said than that it is the most visited tourist hotspot on the Cape Peninsula after the Waterfront. It is the most south-westerly point of Africa and also the most southerly point of the Peninsula. As well as visiting the Point, there is a whole game park to explore.

Boulders Beach

One of the best places to see the African penguin up close and in its natural habitat. Well-made viewing platforms and boardwalks enhance this experience and are suitable for wheelchair-bound people. This is also one of the popular family beaches, out of the wind and with many little spots you can have to yourself. There is excellent swimming and diving. Location: Just past Simon’s Town. The beach can be reached from Seaforth Road or Bellevue Road.

Groot Constantia

This was one of the first wine farms to be established in South Africa in 1685 by the governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Simon van der Stel. What a masterpiece he created! This is the finest example of a Cape Dutch wine farm and must be visited. Today it is still a working farm but is geared for tourists and wine lovers who can walk away with some of the finest wines. 

Location: Turn off Constantia Main Road (in Constantia) into Groot Constantia Road; follow this road to the end.

This is a blue flag status beach frequented by the rich, the famous and the beautiful. There are four distinct coves with pristine sand, surrounded by granite boulders and quaint multi-million Rand beach cottages. This is a favourite spot for sundowners and for people who want to be seen in the right places. Each beach is reached by flights of steps from Victoria Road (not great for wheelchair-bound visitors).

Robben Island

This island is 6.9 km from Cape Town and was first mapped by Europeans in 1488 and became a safe replenishing station for many years until it became a place of humiliating incarceration, from Autshumato in the mid-17th century to the most famous political prisoner, Nelson Mandela (1963-1982) who spent 18 out of 27 years in this prison. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the top places to visit in Cape Town.
