Muizenberg's warm Indian Ocean waters and long wave breaks attracts many surfers. Drive along Boyes Drive above the town and enjoy the panoramic view. Surfers and swimmers dot turqoise waters and the beach stretches forever. Muizenbergwas a holiday town for Cape Town's affluent. Projects are under-way to restore it to its former splendour. Zandvlei Estuary is a good place for a picnic and a game of cricket.
