About Camps Bay

Camps Bay is an affluent suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. In the European winter it is a hotbed of European tourists as well as local South Africans down for a beach holiday.

Camps Bay is named after an invalid sailor, Ernst Friedrich von Kamptz, who settled there in 1778.

The back of Table Mountain, the Table Mountain cableway and the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range form a backdrop to the Camps Bay family beach. The surf is strong here and there is no resident lifeguard, but a rescue helicopter patrols regularly. The grass verge flanked by the Camps Bay tidal pool offers shady, wind-free barbecue spots. Trendy Shops, restaurants, a hotel, chemist, banks and police station are close to the beach.

Camps Bay Watch operates in 5 Camps Bay sectors (Glen, Village, Rontree 1+2 and Bakkoven) and attempts to prevent crime in our neighbourhood, and to faciliate a community amongst its citizen, and co-operation between SAPS, and the armed response service companies.
