Clifton 1st

About six kilometres from the city centre, the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton lure the buff, the bronzed, and the beautiful - as well as the big bucks. At Clifton, Cape Town's St. Tropez, some of the city's priciest real estate overlooks four gleaming white-sand beaches flanked by smooth granite boulders and washed by sparkling, but crisp, blue seas. First Beach is a favourite volleyball venue and offers decent surf when the conditions are right.
