A walk along Sea Point’s wide, paved and grassy path is a joy shared by Capetonians from all walks of life. Once a white-only area, it’s now a great place to see the city’s multiculturalism. There are children’s playgrounds, a well-maintained outdoor gym and several public art pieces.
The beach here is rocky and swimming is dangerous, although you can get in the water at Rocklands Beach. If you’re too thin-skinned for the chilly ocean, try the southern end of the Sea Point Pavilion Pool Complex Promenade.
