UpCycle bikes on the Sea Point promenade
This is one of our personal favourite things to do in sea point cape town for just R90 an hour. Rekindle your inner child by renting a Discovery bicycle on the Sea Point promenade. You can find the bicycle stand next to the food stalls, just a five minute walk from The Point Mall. You can ride your rented bike all along the promenade, through Mouille Point and all the way to The V & A Waterfront! In the opposite direction, ride past the beautiful cliffside views of Bantry Bay and end up in the bustling beach front of Camps Bay.
Don’t forget to stop off at the various art installations, cafe’s and tidal pools along the way!
Cocktails on the terrace at NV80 restaurant
Tucked away on the second floor of The Point Mall, you will find NV80 restaurant, named after
the legendary Goncalves brothers, Naldo and Victor. This beautiful restaurant offers an oasis that feels far removed from the shopping centre location. This Cuba meets vintage ambience is a perfect backdrop for an afternoon cocktail date.
If the time runs away with you, stay for dinner! You won’t be disappointed by their award-winning menu!
A workout class at SWEAT1000
When is a better time to try out the famous workout studio and gym then the festive season?
For those who love to earn their holiday ‘cheat meals’ and extra glass of wine at lunch, a
SWEAT 1000 class at The Point Mall will get your day started on the right foot. If breaking a
sweat with an inhouse DJ and club-esque atmosphere sounds good to you, definitely give one
of their classes a try!
A picnic and sunset swim in Saunders Rock tidal pool
Nothing beats a sunset visit to the Saunders Beach tidal pool just a few minutes down the
promenade towards Bantry Bay. This activity is one of the most popular things to do in Sea Point Cape Town. This local watering hole is one of the best places to catch an evening dip and the most exquisite 360 views of the sunset and sun soaked mountains.
Definitely pack some picnic refreshments because you will not want to leave until last light!
