Camps Bay Beach at the Foot of the Twelve Apostles

On the way to Seal Island, you can choose to stop by Camps Bay on the Atlantic coast—to take in the spectacular view of the Twelve Apostles and explore Camps Bay Beach at the foot of the peaks. Locals also affectionately call it "Bikini Beach." Camps Bay is Cape Town’s top affluent neighborhood, nestled between mountains and the sea. Legend has it that Jesus’ 12 disciples were so enchanted by Camps Bay’s beauty that they stood rooted here, transforming into 12 peaks. These peaks block the strong southeast monsoons, keeping Camps Bay’s weather remarkably stable. Below the rolling peaks, the area is lush and green; along the mountainside stand elegant white mansions and villas, with hotels, cafés, and restaurants stretching all the way to the fine-sand beach—truly chic and romantic. 📮 South Africa | Cape Town | Camps Bay | 2011 🚘 Transportation Camps Bay is easily accessible.
