Looking for a fun day out without leaving the city behind? Look no further than Sea Point, Cape Town’s star Atlantic Seaboard attraction. A long stroll on the promenade is great fun (and free!) and allows you to stop at a variety of popular attractions paired with some of the city’s best views.
Not sure how to spend your time? We’ve curated the perfect day for you, whether you’re on your own or with a partner.
Have a Delicious Meal in Sea Point
Let us introduce you to Gambas Seafood Bistro, the charming seafood eatery in Sea Point that’s serving up only the very best food, inspired by the flavours of Spain and the Med! For just R399 get a 3 course dining experience for 2 people at Gambas.
There’s Always Space for Dessert in Sea Point
Feeling like you need something sweet too? Venezia Ice Cream Parlour, Cape Town’s oldest standing Italian ice cream shop, has you sorted. For just R75 you and another can enjoy a waffle and a latte/cappuccino/ coffee or a milkshake. As a long-standing Sea Point gem, no visit to the area would be complete without stopping by.
Pampering Near the Sea Point Promenade
Book a heavenly 60 minute massage and 2-course meal for two. The spa’s incredible location and luxurious treatments will be the cherry on top of a great day in Sea Point.
What you can get up to Sea Point
Walk around the trendy Mojo market. The space is a new and exciting 7-day-a-week market on Regent Road that has 45 designer retail stalls, a daily fresh goods section, and 25 food vendors.
If you feel like you need to burn off a few post-lunch calories with activities, you’re in the best area. Options include playing a round off putt-putt, larking about at the open air gym, or, if you’ve come prepared, have a dip at the Pavilion swimming pool area. It boasts an Olympic-sized pool, two kids’ splash pools and a springboard diving pool. All the pools are filtered salt water and overlook the Atlantic ocean.
If that’s still not active enough for you, you can rent bicycles at Up Cycles on the pavilion or join one of the guided kayak tours nearby.
Keep an eye out for sun-kissed salsa which occasionally turns the promenade into a huge fiesta of dancing and fun.
If you’re there on a Monday afternoon/ evening look out for Promenade Mondays, a weekly event that sees a mass public skate celebrating anything on wheels. Bring your rollerblades, roller-skates, scooter, skateboard or long-board and join the fun.
Visit Sea Point’s brand new Virtual Reality gaming arcade and experience the virtual world as if it’s real with Sense Virtual.
Fun fact: the event was launched to celebrate the lifting of the ban on skateboarding and rollerblading along the Sea Point promenade.
