AREA INFORMATION
Bloubergstrand, located between the foot of the Blouberg and the Atlantic Ocean, is renowned for its stunning view across Table Bay to Table Mountain. This is where the famous picture postcard view of Cape Town and Table Mountain can be enjoyed. The name Blouberg has its origins from the fact that the Mountain (Blouberg - not Table Mountain as often missunderstood) appears in a blue color when viewed from the ships approaching Cape Town harbour. Well worth visiting are the long white sandy beaches covering the Atlantic coast from Table View through Bloubergrant, Bloubergstrand, Big Bay right to Melkbosstrand, which invite for long walks on the beaches and are the ideal spot for kite surfers and watersport fans. Especially on weekends is this the hot spot for kite surfers, offering them one of the best kite surfing beaches in the world. Although some brave swimmers are occassionaly seen in the water, some protected by wet suites, the water is unfortunately at a steady temperature of 14 degree, which is rather cold for swimming.
Blouberg is only a mere 15 minutes drive from Cape Town. Along Beach Boulevard in Blouberg is plenty of parking and a wide choice of Restaurants with local sea food, steaks, pizza and pasta and asian food. Those who haven't been to Cape Town for a while will not recognize this area. New housing, boutique and large shopping centres, a world class hospital and many new businesses have enriched the area over the past view years.
Directly in front of the beach, appr. 8km from the shore line lies Robben Island, for hundreds of years a prison Island and also the place where Nelson Mandela and many other political prisoners have been held for more than a quater decade during the dark years of apartheid.
