In its heyday in the 50's and 60's Muizenberg was a town of glitz and glamour. Today it has become a sleepy sea-side town although many of the elegant mansions of days past still adorn the mountainside.

The sandy beach is extremely long offering plenty of space for fun and games and facilities are good.

Behind the beach you will find a number of cafes as well as a Put-Put Course (miniature golf) and a few waterslides. The far end of the beach is popular with surfers.

Between Muizenberg and Fish Hoek there are a couple of smaller beaches and tidal pools - ideal for exploring and offering safe swimming for children. These include St James beach and Dalebrook tidal pool.
