With beaches now allowed to be open until 19h00, Camps Bay Restaurants are likely to be busy for the next two weeks.
Not all restaurants will be open on Christmas Day or on 1 January, so I have compiled a list of the Camps Bay restaurants, with their trading days.
We wish you and your family safe travelling and beach enjoyment.
