Bakoven
A tiny cove and residential pocket between Camps Bay and Llandudno, worth a pause on the drive.
Why it’s worth it
Bakoven is hardly a destination in itself, more a small bay with boulders and a strip of sand on the coastal road south of Camps Bay. Its appeal is how little there is: a few houses, a cove and the Atlantic. Stop here when Camps Bay feels too busy.
