This live camera looks over Camps Bay Beach on the Atlantic side of Cape Town, with the Twelve Apostles ridge rising behind the town. It is a practical way to check how the sea and sky look before you plan a walk, a swim or a drive along the coast.
About Camps Bay
Camps Bay is a wide, sheltered beach at the foot of the Twelve Apostles, a chain of granite peaks that runs south from Lion's Head. The suburb sits between the mountains and the ocean and is known for its white sand, palm-lined promenade and restaurants with views of the sunset. The Atlantic here is cooler than the Indian Ocean coast further east, and the mountains often shape the wind and cloud over the bay.
What the camera shows
The camera is listed as a beach view, so the picture is most likely to show the sand, surf and the coastline below the mountain slopes. Depending on the angle, you may also see promenade traffic and people on the sand. Mornings often bring calmer water, while afternoons can be windier. Late light in the evening is popular, since the western exposure makes sunsets over the ocean a common sight.
Planning a visit
Cape Town has mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, and the summer months are the most popular time for the beach, although the Atlantic stays fresh. Camps Bay is easy to reach by road from the city centre and has parking along the main road. Nearby cameras on VizCams cover the Camps Bay hotel and tidal pool areas, Clifton 4th Beach and Table Mountain, so you can compare conditions across the coast.
