A walk to all the big attractions in Cape Town, Mouille Point is still cool and comfortable enough to enjoy the break. It’s an excellent family destination, with small, uncrowded beaches, its own promenade, and an abundance of trendy restaurants.
Mouille Point is a remote, affluent suburb that boasts spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island, and Lion’s Head. The Mouille Point lighthouse is well-known for being the country’s oldest operating lighthouse. There is a varied selection of restaurants, hair salons, and spas, as well as amenities such as a top-notch golf course and a few sailing clubs.
Additionally, Mouille Point has a family-friendly promenade that runs the length of the coastline, where children can enjoy the jungle gyms in the park or ride the charming Blue Train. There is a putt-putt course and a maze to amuse the older children before venturing out for pizza or sundowners.
A walk along the promenade is an excellent outdoor family activity. On hot summer days, the best thing to do is grab an ice cream or find a shady beach spot shaded by an umbrella to escape the late afternoon sun.
The promenade at Mouille Point is lined with exclusive apartment buildings, many of which feature trendy restaurants, bars, and spas on the ground floor.
