Granger Bay
The Atlantic Seaboard of Cape Town is one of the city’s most sought-after destinations due mainly to its scintillating views and accessibility to many of the top attractions found in the Mother City. Granger Bay is one of the Atlantic Seaboard’s most prominent locales and is virtually next door to the iconic V&A Waterfront. Situated in its own bay and boasting magnificent views of world-famous South African landmarks such as Table Mountain and Robben Island, it is no surprise that the fashionable enclave of Granger Bay is popular and well-frequented.
Arguably, Granger Bay’s best feature is its very convenient geographical location. It is a mere 20 minutes away from the International Airport of Cape Town, a stone’s throw from the city’s CBD, and from the many dazzling attractions along the Foreshore including the Artscape Theatre and the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). Furthermore it has easy access to the Sea Point promenade that is great for dog walking as well as the recently refurbished Green Point Stadium that is a major venue for the upcoming 2010 Soccer World Cup. But the biggest attraction Granger Bay has to offer is undoubtedly the V&A Waterfront. The Waterfront has a special place in the hearts of Capetonians and provides a wide array of high-end shops, entertainment outlets, hotels, restaurants, and much more.
The great thing about Granger Bay is that you don’t have to venture very far to enjoy some truly outstanding Cape Town attractions. There are numerous clubs and bars just moments away while some of the city’s most dazzling beaches including Camps Bay and Clifton are less than 10 minutes away. A big city favourite is the Green Point Market that is held every Sunday outside the Green Point stadium and features crafts and music, as well as African art and curios.
