Cape Town has some amazing tourist attractions, but did you know there is plenty to do right here in beautiful Camps Bay? Check out these 8 must-do activities, restaurants, bars and experiences all within walking distance of the Camps Bay strip.

1. Chill-out at Sunset Sessions.

Sunset Sessions is located right across the road from Camps Bay Beach in front of The Bay Hotel.

An intimate and relaxed bar, Sunset Sessions features guest DJ sets five nights a week starting from late afternoon into the evening. Located on the beach, this fun venue has incredible sunset views but is perfectly sheltered. It is an ideal spot for when the Camps Bay wind is blowing hard, but you still want to enjoy the view. So order an ice-cold bucket of Corona to go with the groovy tunes, and watch the sun go down from this new hotspot on the Camps Bay strip.

2. Take a dip in the pool at Sandy B Private Beach Club.

Perfect for those hot days of summer, Sandy B more than a pool with a view. It is one of the hottest hangouts in Camps Bay and attracts some of the most beautiful people in Cape Town. Our recommendation? Chill by the pool with a cocktail in hand. Day, Week, Month or Seasonal passes available. And keep an eye out for their Instagram competitions to win some amazing prizes.

3. Try a granadilla lolly.



The granadilla ice-lolly is a Camps Bay Beach classic. Sold on the beach by cooler-toting locals, it’s the taste of summer. We recommend having a granadilla lolly while getting your tan on.
