Llandudno has its own beach but also serves as the entry point for the walk to Sandy Bay, a beautiful white-sanded beach traditionally used for swimming.

On the way to Cape Town you will pass through Campsbay with its spotless beach, palms and numerous restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Campsbay is the place to hang out with the Capetonians and enjoy the most wonderful food. It also has a vivid night life.

Not far from Llandudno is the growing and ever popular fishermens village of Hout Bay, in the past the valley was covered by indigenous forest, but today all that remains of the forest is the remote Oranjekloof reserve.

  
 
 


Hout Bay is one of the fastest growing areas in Cape Town and has a thriving town centre and its own waterfront development, which predates the better-known V&A Waterfront in the city by several years. The port and adjoining Mariner's Wharf manage to mix fishing and tourism, with the boat trip out to see the seals and the wrecked floating crane a favourite for tourists and Capetonians alike. By day you could visit Duiker Island to view the seal colony and a nearby shipwreck.

At sunset you could indulge in a romantic champagne cruise from the Hout Bay harbour around the coast to Cape Town harbour. You could also sit and enjoy a meal in a world class restaurant, order a Pizza take out or dine on fresh Fish and Chips while watching the fishing boats come and go in the harbour. Hout Bay also has its own beach, which is ideal for long walks, safe swimming and is really super for surfing, wind surfing, paddle skiing and kayaking, not to mention scuba diving. The World of Birds is another major Hout Bay attraction.

From Hout Bay, what must surely be one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world along Chapmans Peak drive leads to Noordhoek. There are wonderful picnic spots and look-out points and the view across to the Sentinel, guarding the entrance to Hout Bay, is powerful. Walking tours along Chapman's Peak may be arranged.
