A Walking Tour: Saunders Rocks to Camps Bay

We are on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula where the Twelve Apostles provide a majestic backdrop to some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Our morning walk began in Bantry Bay at Saunders Rock. Around the bend is the Bay of Clifton (pictured below).


Into Clifton, there are 4 coves and corresponding beaches: 1st Beach, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Beach (and a 5th beach called Moses). From Clifton Beach, we cruised into Camps Bay, an exclusive area lined with cafes, restaurants, live music, dancing, luxury homes and gorgeous views. Cyclists congregate for coffee at the weekend and in two weeks time, will be riding in the Argus Cycle Tour race (which Lance Armstrong is riding this year for the first time).



After a cappuccino, we took Upper Road back to Bantry Bay with different vantage points above the coast line, including Lion's Head (located in the area of Table Mountain and Signal Hill), and concluding with a dip at Saunders Rocks.
