:: ATLANTIC OCEAN COASTLINE

Thanks to its unique position, Cape Town boasts a variety of beaches but be warned, the water can be cold due to the Atlantic
Ocean current coming from the Antarctic! Popular Camps Bay with its stunning location at the foot of the Twelve Apostles mountains has a large expanse of golden sand.
