Because of the city’s strategic location on the Cape Peninsula, Cape Town Surf Camps are able to offer world class waves, all year round and in any direction! Whichever way the wind is blowing, the Mother City holds incredible surf spots for all abilities, but the water’s chilly here compared to Jeffreys Bay and Durban, so beware – wetsuits are a must. Although this warms up in summer, the waves are not a match for the fun, powerful ones that winter brings!
Beyond the surfing, Cape Town has even more to offer! Beaches, mountains, harbours and gardens – this city has it all. Tourism has boomed in recent years, because visitor safety has greatly improved and media outlets are increasingly producing content persuading people to visit.
The coastlines here are simply unbeatable, against a crystal clear ocean backdrop are colonies of penguins and seals basking in the sun, setting the scene for a truly unforgettable surfing adventure.

African Soul Surfer
This property is set right on the beach at Surfer’s Corner, which boasts waves all year round. Despite being close to central Cape Town, this sheltered spot holds much warmer water than it’s Atlantic rivals. The waves are also mellower, sand bottomed, and generally ideal for advancing your surf skills!
The property offers competitive surf packages which include accommodation, breakfast, equipment rental and of course surf lessons! These are run over two, three or five days, all with a relaxed atmosphere that leave the afternoons open for surfing, dozing or exploring.
Double rooms have shared bathrooms, some have balconies and some breathtaking sea views. Larger groups can book a superior family room, with two bunk beds and a double bed, or a comfort triple room with one bunk bed and a double.
Bluebottle Guesthouse
Staff here want their guests to feel like they’ve escaped to a hidden sanctuary, in which they can unwind and rest in a revitalising atmosphere.

Staff here have ‘a guy’ for everything! Their unbiased opinions can link guests up with the best in the area for surfing, hiking, kayaking, and many more activities.
