The view of Camps Bay from the top of Table Mountain

Continuing our trek (less than 2 hour flight) south to Cape Town, we arrived at the beautiful Camps Bay just in time for it to be named in Tripadvisor’s 2014 Traveler’s Choice Awards list of the top 25 beaches in the world.

My husband, Alan, managed to find a house right on the beachfront to be  his home away from home while working on Syfy network’s newest series Dominion.

Only a short drive from downtown Cape Town the views over the Atlantic Ocean are dramatic with the twelve apostles and the famous Table Mountain as a backdrop. There are cafes and restaurants opposite the beach, stunning sunsets, and dolphins frolicking beyond the waves.
