Kalk Bay is a fishing village which still retains much of its original character and has a vibrant night life as well as interesting shops which are open seven days a week, the town was first inhabited in the seventeenth century by shipwrecked seamen and deserters. Fish Hoek was until recently the only dry town in South Africa, the land on which the town was built was donated by Lord Charles Somerset in 1818 on the condition that their be no wine house on the property.

Simon's Town has become one of the gems regular visitors have discovered. It is no surprise that they have selected this quaint village as their accommodation base. January to March seems to be the favoured months. Soon Autumn known as the "secret season", usually wind free and warm, will be discovered.

Cape Point is one of the greatest landmarks in the world: a wild and scenically spectacular area at the tip of the Cape Peninsula and African continent.
