March Holidays 2026 – Making Sunshiny Memories

A Holiday Tour of False Bay

1.      Muizenberg – Surfing and Colourful Beach Huts

Delight in a sunshine-soaked playground for families. Absorb zesty seaside energy and laid-back charm. Build sandcastles on the wide, gentle beach. Snap photos of the famous colourful huts. Learn to surf at Surfers Corner.  Cool off at the beachfront water slides. Challenge each other to a round of putt-putt. Stroll along the Muizenberg/St James walkway to dip in and out of magical tidal pools. Hop on the train for a mini adventure to Kalk Bay or Fish Hoek.

2.      Kalk Bay – Coffee and Cobblestones

Step into Kalk Bay and step back in time. Think cobbled streets. Quirky shops. Ocean views. Sip artisan coffee. Snack on gourmet treats. Watch colourful fishing boats glide into the harbour. Feel the village vibe. This little seaside gem has a proud fishing history and a big personality. It’s relaxed. It’s artsy. It’s deliciously photogenic. You’ll want to linger.

3.      Fish Hoek – Beach Walks and Ocean Kayaking

Swing around the corner to popular Fish Hoek. A sunny seaside valley with one of the safest swimming beaches on the coast. Golden sand. Calm waters. Happy swimmers. Perfect for families. Perfect for floating. Perfect for sunset strolls. Don’t miss Jager’s Walk. It hugs the coastline and boasts front-row seats to whale and dolphin antics in season. Bring your camera. Join the locals on their best beach in safe shark exclusion nets. Swim. Paddle. Surf. Walk. Watch sunsets. Lifeguards and shark spotters present. Safe. Scenic. Simply wonderful. Finish your beach day with coffee, ice cream, or seafood nearby.

4.      Simon’s Town – Penguins and Naval History

Next stop is Simon’s Town. Naval heritage meets seaside charm. Follow the penguin trail to famous Boulders Beach. A cute colony of real African penguins. Waddling. Splashing. Stealing hearts. The beach itself is a beauty. Turquoise water. Giant rounded boulders. Sheltered coves. Ideal for long, lazy summer days. Simon’s Town also serves up fabulous food, fascinating museums, and quirky legends — including the statue of Just Nuisance, the Great Dane who officially joined the Royal Navy.

5.      Cape Point – Hikes, Wildlife and Shipwrecks

Cape Point is the grand finale. Wild. Dramatic. Powerful. Hear the Atlantic Ocean waves crash nearby. Stand at the edge of the continent. Feel tiny. Feel alive. Dubbed the “Cape of Storms” by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias, this legendary landscape is packed with history, cliffs, wildlife, and epic views. Don’t miss the lighthouse. One of the most powerful on the South African coast. It beams light 63 kilometres into the ocean. That’s serious sparkle.
