Cape Town is the second-most populated city in
South Africa after
Johannesburg, and the provincial capital and primate city of the
Western Cape. As the seat of the
National
Parliament, it is also the legislative capital of the country. It forms part of the
City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. The city is famous for its harbour as well as
its natural setting in the
Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as
Table Mountain and
Cape Point. Cape Town is also
Africa's most popular tourist destination.
Cape Town is not only the most popular international tourist destination in South Africa, but Africa as a whole. This is due to its good climate, natural setting, and well-
developed infrastructure. The city has several well-known natural features that attract tourists, most notably Table Mountain, which forms a large part of the
Table Mountain
National Park and is the back end of the
City Bowl.
Reaching the top of the mountain can be achieved either by hiking up, or by taking the
Table Mountain Cableway. Cape Point is recognised as the dramatic headland at the end of the
Cape Peninsula. Many tourists also drive along
Chapman's Peak Drive, a narrow road that links
Noordhoek with
Hout Bay, for the views of the
Atlantic Ocean and nearby mountains. It is possible to either drive or hike up
Signal Hill for closer views of the City Bowl and Table Mountain.

Many tourists also visit Cape Town's beaches, which are popular with local residents.Due to the city's unique geography, it is possible to visit several different beaches in the same day, each with a different setting and atmosphere. Though the Cape's water ranges from cold to mild, the
difference between the two sides of the city is dramatic.
While the
Atlantic Seaboard averages annual water temperatures barely above that of coastal
California around 13 °
C (55 °F), the
False Bay coast is very much warmer, averaging between 16 and 17 °
C (61 and 63 °F) annually. This is similar to water temperatures in much of the
Northern Mediterranean (for example
Nice). In summer, False Bay water averages slightly over 20 °
C (68 °F), with 22 °
C (72 °
F) a common high.
Beaches located on the
Atlantic Coast tend to have very cold water due to the
Benguela current which originates from the
Southern Ocean, whilst the water at False Bay beaches may be warmer by up to 10 °
C (18 °F) at the same moment due to the influence of the warm
Agulhas current, and the surface warming effects of the
South Easter wind.
Both coasts are equally popular, although the beaches in affluent
Clifton and elsewhere on the Atlantic Coast are better developed with restaurants and cafés, with a particularly vibrant strip of restaurants and bars accessible to the beach at
Camps Bay.
Boulders Beach near
Simon's Town is known for its colony of African
Penguins.
Surfing is popular and the city hosts the
Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing competition every year.
