Muizenberg
A historical beach-side suburb on the False Bay coast,
Muizenberg is popular with families for its long, gentle-sloping
beach, warm water, beautiful views, and activities such as
mini-golf and waterslides. The beach is famous for its row of
colourful changing houses and is a photo favourite from the
mountain road far above. Muizenberg beach has also long been the
preference of beginner surfers and several popular surf schools
have been established at Surfers Corner, the closest side to the
mountain. False Bay is known for its Great White Shark population,
but a shark watch service is in operation to give warning to
bathers and surfers. A scenic walkway below the railway line links
Muizenberg to the next seaside village of St James with its tidal
pool. The delightful fishing village of Kalk Bay is a few minutes
drive away with its protected harbour, and its main street lined
with fascinating antique and art shops, as well as cafes and
restaurants.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
