From the thoroughly entertaining Theatre on the Bay in Camps Bay to the bustling market in Hout Bay, the Atlantic Seaboard has various highlights that are not to be missed.
Theatre on the Bay
Link Rd, Camps Bay
Known far and wide in theatre circles as one of the best stages on local shores, the Theatre on the Bay has showcased countless acting legends (as well directors, writers and behind-the-scene magicians of set-design, lighting and sound) and has also provided a platform for new talent to strut their stuff. And if that’s not enough, it’s pretty imposing to boot – what with its striking façade and bronze statue of an actor welcoming patrons. It’s prime location on Camp’s Bay’s beachfront strip just adds to the appeal.
Hout Bay Harbour
It’s a bustling hive of activity with an abundance of culture, food and creativity and visitors to Hout Bay’s Harbour are treated to everything from witnessing the activities of this working harbour for the tuna and crayfishing industries, as well as experiencing a whole host of tourism activities, such as boat trips, diving and fishing.
On weekends, the Hout Bay Harbour Market offers everything from great coffee and beer to live bands and yummy foods such as potjiekos. Various handmade goods are also on offer, as well as cultural mementos, organic products, local artwork and handmade jewellery too. Coupled with the beautiful backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and the laidback atmosphere, it’s not to be missed.
