Cape Town, Kalk Bay

One of the most southerly of Cape Town's suburbs, Kalk Bay centres around a lively working harbour with wooden fishing vessels, mountain views, and a strip of shops packed with collectibles, antique shops, trendy coffee shops and restaurants.

Kalk Bay somehow managed to slip through the net of the Group Areas Act, making it one of the few places of the peninsula with an intact coloured community, and Kalk Bay and the larger Hout Bay are the only harbour settlements still worked by coloured fishermen.

It is well-known for its artistic and alternative community too, living up cobbled streets, and there is a fair bit of visitor accomodation available.

The village is arranged around the small docks, where you can watch the boats come in; you can also buy fresh fish, which are flung onto the quayside, sold in spirited auctions, gutted for a small fee and the innards then thrown to waiting seals.

Kalk Bay is busiest on Saturdays and Sundays when Capetonians descend to breakfast or lunch at one of the excellent cafés, wander the the shops and harbour, or have a drink right on the water's edge.
