Drinks & Nightlife
My favourite pub in Cape Town. It oozes character and there are different sections, whether you want ocean views, quiet, young, classy, or grubbing with the locals, it's got it all. Good food too.

Entertainment & Activities
I'm not much of a sea person, so this is my favourite water place. One can swim for about 600m before looking up. :) Great for family picnics and there is a separate section where dogs are allowed.

Sightseeing
For roadrunners, this is the scenic road to Kalk Bay. Good for whale spotting, there are several turn offs that make a loop of anything from 2km to 10km possible. Trailrunners can head up too.

My favourite thing to do is wander around in the Muizenberg Mountains. A must do if you're active. I love this mountain way more than Table Mountain! There's waterfalls and caves too.

Great place to canoe, windsurf, or watch fish-eagles and other wildlife (I've seen kingfishers and my friend saw otters - he wakes up early). Good for picnics, but not the best, not good for swimming

If you like penguins, this is awesome. Heading out South, this is a great midway stop. If you're not so much into penguins, just wander outside the fence, if you love them, spend a while here.

I haven't actually been here, but I've been meaning to go. Apparently a great bird watching spot. I want to see it because it's part of the wastewater treatment facility too.

Touristy, but still one of my fav places in Cape Town. Have a late, lazy afternoon picnic here in summer. The plants are amazing, and the views phenomenal. In summer there's music concerts.

Pick and Pay supermarket and a fuel station.

This is the Westlake Business Park. Hemporium (my favourite textile company) has a factory shop here, and there are several eco-entrepreneurs with offices in the area.
