If we hear the name of Africa, we certainly will pictured an dry place, full of deserts, civil war, the nest, a disease of poor people and starving.
Cape Town will change our pictures about Africa, especially in the southern tip of the Black Continent. There, above shadows disappear and change my admiration. Africa turns out to save the beauty of not less than the leading tourist attractions are popular in Europe, America, or Australia, one of the most attractive tourist charms of the Cape Town area is the beach.

In the city that was built right at the foot of Table Mountain which is shaped like a table, there is pleasure beach area Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (V & A Waterfront). This area is part of the Port of Table Bay, the main port of Cape Town, which later transformed into a tourist area that consists of several malls, craft center, live music open until the restaurant on the edge of the pier with a view of the sea and Table Mountain.

What is interesting from the V & A Waterfront is a colonial building that still retained its original architecture. In addition, populations of wild seals in the waters of the harbor are not left alone and allowed to live side by side with a busy harbor. So, while enjoying the grilled lobster at one of the colonial atmosphere of the restaurant, we can enjoy the behavior of seals swimming sunbathing or relaxing on a wooden pier a few yards from where we sit.

Cape Town is situated on the west coast of the African continent which is to be right on the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic surface dark blue mixed sand white beaches become a major attraction for tourists.

That's why most of the coastline in the coastal area of Cape Town is a tourist area visited by many tourists from Europe during the summer (during the summer in South Africa in conjunction with the winter peak in Europe so that Europeans flocked there for warmth).

At first glance, the scene in Camps Bay will remind us of the photographs in the tourist resorts of the Mediterranean region, such as Monte Carlo in Monaco. Trip drive to the south will bring you to scenic places more beautiful. As in the city of Hout Bay in the bottom of the valley, overlooking a bay of blue water stone flanked by two hills.

This city's most beautiful scenery can be seen from Chapman's Peak Drive, the roadway at an altitude of nearly 500 meters above sea level. From that height, Hout Bay looks stuck in a bay with a stretch of the vast Atlantic Ocean beyond the hill.

Travel through Chapman's Peak Drive is also a special experience. Highway winding is literally carved in the wall of the hill and was built between the years 1915-1922. On one side of the road is steep rock walls that angle nearly 90 °, while on the other side of the road dropped sheer drop that ended in the Atlantic Ocean surface waves are breaking against the vicious black stones.

Other interesting experiences along the southern coast of Africa is the encounter with the penguins. Southern Africa region is one of the few areas outside the South Pole where we met a black and white bird is.

One of the penguin population centers in South Africa is on the beach Boulders Beach which is located in the waters of False Bay or the east coast of the Cape Peninsula. In the nature reserve area in the Table Mountain National Park, there are about 4,000 African penguins tail (Spheniscus demersus).

Penguins at Boulders Beach and seals at the V & A Waterfront is not the only endangered species that we can see its existence in the wild at Cape Town along the coast. If we are lucky, in the middle of the sea that we will be seen through a group of whales to surface.

The locals seem to really understand the significance of this scene so powerful along the coast road it made a lot of rest. The place could be just a stone bench overlooking the beach or a set of tables and chairs under a shade tree that can be used to mingle with a lover or a picnic with family.
