This vibrant marina, home to a mega mall of shops, restaurants and entertainment, is Cape Town’s real beating heart (the city centre, by contrast, is rather staid). It’s a historic spot, set in the oldest working harbour in the Southern Hemisphere, and boasts Table Mountain as an impressive backdrop.
It’s a pleasant and atmospheric place to while away a few hours, characterised by the constant buzz of chattering locals and visitors, and a great place to eat alfresco by the water.
