The exclusive and lively suburb of Sea Point is the place to head in Cape Town if you want the opportunity to sample the local nightlife, as well as one of the most naturally stunning parts of the city. Thanks to the popularity of the Sea Point region and its promenade with tourists, there is a wide choice of accommodation within the region, including a number of chain hotels, boutique guest houses and even luxury hotels in their own grounds.
Top Things in Sea Point
As the name suggests, Sea Point is dominated by the ocean and the long Sea Point promenade attracts both tourists and locals all year round. Early evening is a great time for people watching, while enjoying a glass of local wine.
Other top attractions include the sea-water swimming pools at the Sea Point Pavilion, with their view of the real ocean outside.
Not forgetting Sea Point's electric nightlife, with bars and clubs to suit all tastes.
Sea Point Hotels
No matter what your budget is, there are exclusive as well as cheap hotels in Sea Point to suit your requirements. Most of the Sea Point accommodation consists of small and privately-owned boutique hotels, each with their own individual style and charm. Chain hotels are available too, but they are usually used by business travellers rather than tourists. A number of the smaller hotels are located close to the shore, allowing the visitors to have a good chance to secure a sea view in this part of Cape Town.
Restaurants in Sea Point
Seafood dominates the menu in many of the Sea Point restaurants, while Asian styles of cooking are also well represented. The most famous restaurant in the Sea Point area is Harvey's at Winchester Mansions, serving local seafood and traditional South African dishes, but with a European twist.
