Why Kalk Bay is One of Cape Town’s Best Places for a Long-Term Stay
Kalk Bay is one of Cape Town’s most beloved coastal neighbourhoods—known for its tidal pools, independent cafés, heritage architecture, and relaxed seaside rhythm. For those looking to settle into a long-term stay, it offers a lifestyle that feels both grounding and inspiring.
A Seaside Village with a Soul
Daily life here might look like:
- Quiet morning swims at Dalebrook or St James
- Coffee at Olympia Café or Bob’s Bagels
- Afternoon coastal walks along Boyes Drive
- Evenings sitting outside with the sea breeze
This is slow living at its best.
