It's pretty, but boring, and the restaurants are mediocre. It starts to be pretty great after 5 beers and it's really cool after 10 but it's far out of town so don't drive for a few hours after testing the beer (they don't really have exotic beers anyway). The public toilets are cleaned continuously. Big lawns for kids to play on. Best view of Table Mountain. Popular hang-out for everyone from families to young adults and big bikers. You could spend a good few hours there happily. Has a Pick'nPay, a pharmacy, a small shopping centre and some fairly interesting little shops --> nothing expensive + if it is expensive you're being screwed. Surrounded by lots of small modern housing units. Nice beach (but this is the Atlantic so it's cold) kite surfers, ordinary short-board surfers, folks with kites on the beach + lawns (there is a steady, cool breeze that can turn into a pretty strong wind all the way up the West Coast). Old folks may not enjoy this so much. Better if you're young and strong. Good bodies on display.
