Big Bay

The classic Table Mountain postcard, with kitesurfers in the foreground.

Why it’s worth it

Big Bay faces south across Table Bay, so Table Mountain fills the horizon with the city at its foot. Wind makes it a kitesurfing hotspot, and the sky fills with sails on breezy afternoons. Come for the view and the sunset rather than for sheltered swimming.

Highlights

  • Table Mountain across the bay
  • Kitesurfers on windy days
  • Long sandy shoreline
  • Sunset over the water
