The row of modest, vividly painted buildings that line Muizenberg's white-sand beach is the town's most famous feature. There's no better place to be if you're searching for laid-back surf vibes than Muizenberg, where life centres around the ocean, water sports, and leisure. Muizenberg's appeal is boosted by annual events like the Muizenberg Festival and the International Kite Festival, as well as its beautiful natural surroundings and pleasant weather.
