South Africa's Beauty: Camps Bay Beach

Camps Bay beach is one of the most popular beaches in Cape Town and is viewed by locals and tourists alike as the place to be seen during summer.

The beautiful white sandy beach, which sits below the back of Table Mountain, is also popular with photographers on professional and recreational levels, with top fashion brands often using the beach as the backdrop for their shoots.

The attraction of the beach is boosted by the many restaurants and bars found along the main road in the suburb of Camps Bay - these turn into trendy nightclubs after the stunning sunset has passed.

If you are lucky enough to own a house in this area, the views are simply breathtaking (you can always steal a glimpse of these views by driving up the mountainside where the houses are situated), but it will cost you a pretty penny to buy or rent here.

Think St Tropez when Camps Bay comes to mind - just minus the yachts.
