Get to Know Hout Bay
Visit this small fishermen's town to enjoy the catch of the day at the harbour, take a cruise around the bay or scour the local markets.
Only 20 kilometres along the Cape Peninsula from Cape Town's centre, Hout Bay is close enough to the city to visit on a day trip, but far enough to get away from it all for a weekend. The town is embraced by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. At its working harbour, visitors can order fresh fish and chips, calamari or prawns at the restaurants or fast-food outlet at Mariner's Wharf to enjoy while looking out over the ocean.
