It’s all about that Cape Town feeling

I LOVE CAPE TOWN. Cape Town through the eyes of a Joburger is something else entirely. You have to understand, I’m used to concrete, traffic & skyscrapers, and while Cape Town certainly has its fair share of all of that, I was suddenly surrounded by the ocean, mountains, winelands & stunning natural wonders. I was suddenly surrounded by ALL of Cape Town – and needless to say, I couldn’t get enough. The simple truth is this - from the very first moment I set foot in the Mother City I wanted to be part of her magic. The point is I’m crazy in love with Cape Town. Like head-over-heels, where’s my engagement ring, I’m ready to walk down the aisle, let’s get married right now, in love with Cape Town. And I’m not the commitment type, so that’s a big deal. While witnessing Table Mountain for the very first time might have been what hooked me, it was EVERYTING else about the magnificent Mother City that sealed the deal. I’m a born-and-bread Joburger turned head-over-heels in love Capetonian, and I don’t care who knows it! So, what exactly is it about Cape Town that turned me head-over-heels you ask? Well, here are just 5 reasons why I love Cape Town, but trust me, there are a million more.

Reasons To Love Cape Town’s False Bay

In all my time spent in Cape Town, I just can’t seem to get enough of that False Bay magic! It’s hard to describe exactly what it is that keeps drawing me in. Perhaps it’s the blissful beachy laid-back False Bay vibe, or the endless hidden gems & hideaways it has to discover. Or maybe it’s all the cool, charismatic coastal towns - each with their own unique flair & personality. Oh, and the beaches! DEFINITELY the beaches! But, whatever it is, I’m hooked, hanging on every bit, going back for more again and again. Point is I’ve discovered the False Bay pot of gold and now I want ALL of it! So here are a couple of False Bay beaches that stole my heart & are guaranteed to steal yours too.
