Maidens Cove

Description

Maiden's Cove is a beautiful scenic lookout point nestled between Clifton’s beaches and Glen Beach in the prestigious suburb of Camps Bay in Cape Town, Western Cape. It is well renowned for its exquisite vistas of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles, as well as its view of the Atlantic Ocean.

The parking and grassy area at Maiden’s Cove is a popular spot to watch the sunset, and there are braai areas for those who wish to make an evening or day of it. Dolphins can often be spotted frolicking in the water and during the months of June to November, it’s fantastic for whale watching. It is not very protected so is best not visited on a windy day. Public ablutions are available.

If you venture down towards the sea, you will find a tidal pool which is superb for exploring at low tide. This cove is also one of the best free diving spots in the Cape Peninsula.
