  We travel in a scenic car down the Atlantic Coast, passing through Three Anchor Bay, Bantry Bay, Clifton, and stopping in Camps Bay. The coast is bordered by mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. As you take in the breathtaking views of the Twelve Apostles and Camps Bay beach, Maiden's Cove is the ideal location for you to make memories with unforgettable images. One of the best sites in Cape Town to shoot panoramic pictures of the ocean, Camps Bay Beach, Table Mountain, Lion's Head, and the lovely suburbs of Clifton, Camps Bay, etc. lies at this cove. This is the so-called Kodak moment.

  With the spectacular vistas of Long Beach and Noordhoek below us, we continue along the coast with an optional stop in Noordhoek. The Village Roast in Cape Town offers some of the greatest coffee in the city for customers to purchase on their own.

  There will be an optional stop for wine sampling at the stunning Cape Point Vineyards. Surrounded by picturesque vineyards and with views of the ocean in the background, the region's cool sea winds cause a sluggish growing season and a late harvest, which produce a Sauvignon Blanc that is really unique and well-known for its deep minerality, structure, and tone. Highly suggested options for lunch include a picnic overlooking the man-made dam or an optional sit-down meal in their restaurant.

  You can see the bright beach huts in Muizenberg on the way back. Change rooms are located in the beach cottages. These bring to mind the "bathing machine" of the 1800s, a cart-like device that was rolled down to the water's edge to allow the ladies to change into their bathing suits.
