Gay Guide Cape Town - Western Cape

Cape Town, known to its locals as the Mother City, is Africa's self-proclaimed gay capital. It also just happens to be one of the world’s most beautiful cities: a cosmopolitan city nestled between the heights of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles and the superb beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. If you are into natural beauty, try the view from Table Mountain or a wander through the Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl). If beaches are your thing, check out Clifton 3rd, Camps Bay or the nudist Sandy bay. If it's shopping that turns you on, look no further than the Waterfront or the other proud members of Cape Town's Big Five shopping Centres. De Waterkant - Cape Town's Gay Village. Centrally situated and within walking distance of the City Centre and the V&A Waterfront, and a few minutes drive from the best beaches. If you want to sleep with, and/or eat, drink or shop around "family", then de Waterkant is a good choice! Cape Town has everything the gay traveller can want.
