Places

- - might be worth a visit, if you like tranquillity and loneliness.
Do
- The ocean water in False Bay (on the eastern side of the peninsula) is around 5-8°C warmer than the ocean water along the Atlantic Seaboard (on the western side of the peninsula). This makes swimming possible all year round.
- You can visit the beaches at Muizenberg, Fish Hoek or Simon's Town and enjoy a day at the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
- The Southern Right Whale can often be seen in the False Bay, especially during the whale season (about June to November). A good spot to see whales is at Cape Point in the Table Mountain National Park, but, in season, good views can be had from the coast between Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simonstown. Its the only place where you can travel by train to watch whales!
