Once again you take me back to my childhood, swimming at Kalkbay beach, being on the jetty, buying fresh fish, watch the fisherman gut and clean the fish, watch the seals bopping and swimming in the waves, thank you for these beautiful memories. Loved it as always.

when i visited this place, it was emotional for me because i learned that filipino refugees from the spanish regime settled here permanently. I flew to a very distant and totally unknown country for the first time and ending up to this wonderful neighborhood where to my surprise has filipino roots. I need to visit again.

Would be nice if there were some more parking in Kalk Bay. At least the work on main road is done. It started when I finished primary school and they finished when I was done with university! Lol

Hahaha I know that feeling. Regarding the parking, i hear what you saying, but it also restricts an overflow. As it is the place gets to busy, imagine havining EVEN more people there. Now people have to park at St James and Muizies to walk there... which is also a nice thing.

The only guy vloging cpt, thank you so much

I love Kalk Bay, seafood, scenery, shopping and chilling at it's finest, seriously as displayed here the shopping is so cool, most of the shops maintain this awesome chic vibe that I love. I so badly want to move here.

This is so great!! Wonderful video and well done Kalk Bay, c'mon summer!! Really well done - great tour 'guide' Coleen!

Also I am lucky enough to be living quite close to Kalk Bay. Best place for a good cuppa coffee!

Hi ! am here

Can someone say Kalk Bay one more time please? Kalk bay is lovely, but this is more a "shop until you're numb" video and as mentioned in the end, the area has so much more to offer, so much more that makes it ACTUALLY interesting, than little tourist type shops.

Just my 2c being a local of Kalk Bay (Fisherman Flats). It is not only the main road that is Kalk bay, its heritage stems from the Fisherman Flats (Yellow flats). Take a walk through the area to get a feel of the community www.kalk-bay.co.za

Brilliant video, but you didn't mention Kalkies, the best, and I mean the best fish and chips in the world, by far.

@Travelvids

There certainly are black people in Kalk Bay... but not many. It is a predominantly white neighbourhood. As a long lasting result of apartheid, there is a still a sort of "natural segregation" that happens in South Africa. It's just the way it is.... like in most parts of the world... it takes many generations to see things like this change.... if you look at our long street video you will see how a once White dominated city has become a great melting pot of all colours and cultures... other areas (more distant from the city) are less inclined to change as quickly

ok i see. yes, very unfortunately "it takes many generations to see things like this change....". thanks for the info! will soon travel to SA. would like to stay close to the beach, but not to far away from CT center. i assume you would suggest Kalk Bay? or maybe Muizenberg? Simon's Town seems also great, but to far from city center...

Cape Town is really so small you can stay anywhere.... but staying in the city is great... For Beach, Muizenberg/Kalk Bay etc is great because the water is warmer.... But Blaauwberg side and the Atlantic Seaboard (Camps Bay, Seapoint) is nice too... Safe travels!!!

I will say it again Cape Town may be among one of the best cities in the world. But not the best city in the world. The factors to make it the best are. On a scale of one to ten. With one being terrible and ten being excellent. Friendly people:7-8 Crime rate: 3-4 Infrastructure : 5-6 Climate or good weather: 6-7 Things to do: 7-8 Governance : 5-6 I feel like Cape Tonians overrate their own city. They make it look like it's fun and games. But it's not the problems it faces are real. They are not fake news media. So as a city it's not the best in the world.
