Top Tip 1
Parking on Victoria Road can be a problem on busy days.
Try parking on Kloof Road, as their are several sets of steps connecting the two roads.

If the South Easter is howling then 4th Beach is your best beach option with wind protection from the spectacular backdrop of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles.
