Harbours of the Cape: From Table Bay to the West Coast

The harbours of Cape Town and the Western Cape are rich in history, culture, and maritime character, each offering a unique glimpse into the life of South Africa’s coastline.

Cape Town Harbour

At the foot of Table Mountain lies Cape Town Harbour, one of Africa’s oldest working ports. It’s home to the V&A Waterfront, where modern shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks blend seamlessly with the historic docks. Once a bustling hub for ships rounding the Cape, today it’s also a gateway for ocean adventures, fishing vessels, and cruise liners.

Hout Bay Harbour

Tucked beneath the Sentinel mountain, Hout Bay Harbour is a lively fishing port with strong community roots. Known for its colourful fishing boats and fresh seafood, it’s also a favourite launch point for boat trips to Seal Island. The harbour is surrounded by markets, art stalls, and a working fish factory—giving visitors an authentic taste of local coastal life.

St Helena Bay

Further up the scenic West Coast, St Helena Bay is a quiet, crescent-shaped bay known for its calm waters and rich marine life. Its harbour supports a thriving fishing industry, particularly snoek and pilchards, and the area is famed for its beautiful sunsets and historical ties—this is where Vasco da Gama first landed in 1497. It’s a peaceful escape that still hums with the rhythm of the sea.
