Bathing houses at Muizenberg
Muizenberg
A historical beach-side suburb on the False Bay coast,
Muizenberg is popular with families for its long, gentle-sloping
beach, warm water, beautiful views, and activities such as
mini-golf and supertubing. The beach is famous for its row of
colourful changing houses and is a photo favourite from the
mountain road far above. Muizenberg beach has also long been the
preference of beginner surfers and several popular surf schools
have been established at Surfers Corner, the closest side to the
mountain. False Bay is known for its Great White Shark population,
but a shark watch service is in operation to give warning to
bathers and surfers. A scenic walkway below the railway line links
Muizenberg to the next seaside village of St James with its tidal
pool. The delightful fishing village of Kalk Bay is a few minutes
drive away with its protected harbour, and its main street lined
with fascinating antique and art shops, as well as cafes and
restaurants.
