Kalk Bay

I am quickly becoming the biggest fan of Kalk Bay. About 45 minutes away from Cape Town, it is the loveliest drive. It takes you around Devil’s Peak, through the lovely neighborhood of

Rondebosch and then through the forests of Tokai. Some wine farms dot the drive along the way to the coast towards Muizenburg, just south of Cape Town. A magnificent road called Boye’s Drive snakes and weaves up through the mountainous nature reserves of the peninsula, providing you with sweeping views of the small coastal towns along the way. Kalk Bay is a small town that feels light years from Cape Town. Still chock full of tourists, it has a slower pace than the city, lots of cafes, amazing French pastries, and galleries exhibiting the treasures of local African craft projects.

My aunt Lynne’s former husband, Keith, and his wife Christina reside there so I’ve had many opportunities to visit this area. Sunday, I went on a day trip with friends Christa and Ardine. Here are some photos documenting the day.

  1. Have you been to Cape to Cuba in Kalk Bay yet? Definitely worth a visit for a long lunch!
