Sea Point Promenade
An approximately 11-km promenade along the Atlantic, where locals walk, run and exercise their dogs, with an open-air seawater pool by the sea.
The Sea Point Promenade runs from the Mouille Point lighthouse near the V&A Waterfront to Bantry Bay. Green lawns, public art installations and children's playgrounds line the route, and dolphins are often seen offshore, along with whales in winter. The promenade passes the red-and-white Green Point Lighthouse, one of South Africa's oldest, and the Sea Point open-air seawater pool (Pavilion Pool, about ZAR 30), a 50-meter pool right next to the waves. The promenade is free. You can rent bicycles or electric scooters, and it is busiest in the evening at sunset. Nearby on Regent Road are plenty of affordable restaurants and cafés, a good place to experience everyday life in Cape Town. Many stops along the MyCiTi bus route give access.
