St James is a residential suburb,situated on the False Bay coast between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay. St James was the site of the original Whaling Station for Kalk Bay and was named after the Catholic Church which was built in 1859. Many of the "Rand" Baron's had their holidays here including Cecil John Rhodes. Today their homes are National Monuments, some of which are open to the Public.
