Sea Point offers visitors a variety of pubs, music clubs, coffee shops, restaurants and a lovely promenade along which to walk.
Characterised by high-rise, luxury apartments, Sea Point offers urban entertainment in an atmosphere reminiscent of the Big Apple. With a host of pubs, music clubs, coffee shops and restaurants along the Main Road, Sea Point’s vibrant nightlife creates a carnival atmosphere for visitors and locals alike.
This bustling, cosmopolitan suburb never sleeps and visitors are warned to be mindful of their possessions despite surveillance cameras and a visible police presence.
Once you’ve partied all night, Sea Point has a range of places to eat, ranging from relaxed sidewalk cafés to more upmarket establishments.
If the rich food and partying are getting to you, the Sea Point Promenade runs the length of the Sea Point beach front, from Bantry Bay to Mouille Point, and is a great spot for a quiet stroll or an energetic jog. Early morning and evening are particularly nice times.
Benches along the beach front provide an ideal place to rest while taking in the stunning views of the sea. There are also a number of children’s playgrounds running the length of the promenade as well as a chlorinated, sea-water swimming pool complex open to the public at the Sea Point Pavilion. The view from the pools is spectacular, out over the Atlantic Ocean.
The swimming pool complex at the Pavilion has two children’s pools, a diving pool, and an Olympic-sized pool. It is open every day from 9am to 5pm. The Sea Point Pavilion is situated on Beach Road, +27 (0)21 434 3341.
While the beaches are not ideal for swimming, they provide nice spots for relaxing on the white sand in the sun, or for a paddle or photo opportunity.

Walking in Cape Town
Many visitors want to explore nature on higher ground as soon as they arrive in Cape Town and with Lion’s Head and Table Mountain beckoning, many do get to experience the local flora and fauna on foot. However, the entire peninsula can be enjoyed by avid walkers. From Blouberg Beach, with its picture perfect views from its sandy shores, to the more adventurous guided Hoerikwaggo Trails along the spine of Table Mountain, visitors have an expanse of ground to cover.
Green Point
Green Point has been called the Soho of Cape Town – with its funky restaurants and busy nightclubs, the place has an energy all of its own.

Reviews

I believe Seapoint is the best looking CBD region in Cape Town. A majority of people including photographers focus their attention on the Table Mountain, whilst the view from off-shore facing Seapoint offers expectular views. Look the the explosive white buildings neslting on the Lion's Ramp, look at that view. It can also be good when Cape Towns is green.
