Camps Bay Accommodation & Lifestyle

This is one of the original Primi's in South Africa and is located in a beachfront venue. Generally this is a typical Primi experience with energetic waitering and good and friendly service. The food is great (Italian / Fusion) and doesn't take long from order to delivery on table. The only problem I have is that the venue is quite small, so it becomes quite cramped at times. Unfortunately there's probably nothing they can do about it, so booking in advance is a necessity. This is a nice stopover for sundowners or an early dinner before hitting the strip of venues located just a short walk away.

After having a few fun nights at Dizzy's it's time to post a review of the popular Camps Bay restaurant. Located just one street above the beach, behind the Pick 'n Pay centre it's very close to the beach, allthough there's no real view of the beach which is probably it's only disadvantage. Dizzy's makes up for it though in the 'fun factor'. With regular live shows and karaoke evenings you're sure to love the vibe.

Dizzy's has a regular non-smoking restaurant area as well as a bar and a lounge section. The food it great, especially their pizza and pricing is reasonable. There's enough space, but the bar area can get crowded on a busy night.

All in all a good experience.

Following the tragic drowning of two parents of a now orphaned 8 year old girl, authorities are warning the public to not stand too close to the water when walking on the rocks. A freak wave swept them from the rocks and rescuers couldn't get to them quick enough.

Tips when swimming at Camps Bay:

• First of all, it's very cold, so you wouldn't want to wade too deep anyway!
• Watch for troughs when walking into the water - often it becomes deep quite quickly and kids could easily be dragged in if they're deeper than knee high.
• Keep an eye on your kids.
• Beware the dumpers - the waves tend to dump, so if you're bodysurfing, don't break your bones :-)
  
• Beware the sand banks - recently a student got paralysed because he dove into a sand bank, just like it might get deep quickly it can be shallow, whilst looking deep.
