If you're looking for a pleasant sit-down restaurant for seafood or grills, try this one. It's on Beach Road, so the views are great, plus there's a decent winelist too.

This is one of the region's best. It'll cost you, but it's worth it. Restaurant/winery is located in a modern glass-and-concrete building perched on the side of a hill that overlooks the bay.

We walk this beach three times a week at the crack of dawn. It's long and wide, and gets busy in holiday season. It's great for swimming, surfing, SUP and running.

A three-quarter day hike gets you to the top of the Helderberg Mountain, which has fantastic views across the region. Be sure to check the weather before you go; you also need to be relatively fit and carry essentials, like extra water.
