Cape Town Facts & Tips

Cape Town has a Mediterranean Climate

Summer is characterised by temperature maximums around the high 20° C but also reaching into the high 30° C. Winter hovers around the high teens with minimums dropping below 10° C. In winter trees and vineyards change to bright reds and yellows before losing their leaves as snow-capped mountain peaks in the interior embellish the beautiful landscape. In spring, the landscape goes to a lush green as the winter rains and sunlight spur the vegetation on. Spring is also a great time to see the wild flowers transform the deserts. Summer is hot and dry, with strong cool southeasterly winds hitting the turquoise waters of the oceans, drastic mountains and lush vineyards of Cape Town and the Western Cape making this a beautiful place to visit.

Camps Bay Travel Guide - Cape Town

Camps Bay

Camps Bay is another famous and popular Cape Town beach. The Camps Bay promenade behind the beach is lined with restaurants and cafés making it ideal to grab a bite to eat after a day in the sun. The long white sand beach is a popular photo spot with the Twelve Apostles of Table Mountain behind. Unlike Clifton Beach, Camps Bay is not sheltered from the strong south easterly wind when it blows. Vendors sell drinks, ice cream and other wares on the beach while umbrellas and deck chairs are available for rent. The African sun is very strong so bring plenty of sunscreen, water and beach toys and enjoy a fun day at a beautiful beach during your stay in Cape Town. Enter the water at your own risk, it's cold!
