点评:Camps Bay remains Cape Town’s "see and be seen" destination. It perfectly balances natural drama with a trendy, upscale urban vibe.
The Highlights (Why People Love It)
Stunning Backdrop: It is hard to beat the views of the Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head towering directly over the white sand.
Pristine Sand: The beach is consistently rated as clean with very soft, "powder-white" sand. It holds Blue Flag status, ensuring high environmental and safety standards.
Convenience: You don’t need to pack much. Umbrellas and loungers are readily available for rent (usually around R100–R150 depending on the season).
The Strip: Just across the road, Victoria Road is lined with world-class cafes and cocktail bars, perfect for a sunset drink.
The Challenges (What to Prepare For)
Parking "Impossible": Finding a spot on the main road is a nightmare, especially in January. Unless you arrive by 8:00 AM, Uber is highly recommended.
The Temperature Shock: The water is famously ice-cold (Atlantic side). It sits around 15°C–18°C, so most people stick to quick "dips" rather than long swims.
Vendor Fatigue: You will be approached frequently by people selling ice cream, cold drinks, and sun hats. A polite "No, thank you" usually works, but the frequency can be tiring if you're looking for total peace.
The Crowd: Being the most popular beach, it gets very busy, especially on weekends and public holidays. If you want a quieter vibe, walk 10 minutes north to Glen Beach.
Pro-Tips for Your Visit
Safety First: Stick to the areas marked by lifeguard flags. The currents can be deceptively strong.
The Tidal Pool: If the ocean is too rough or cold, head to the southern end of the beach. The tidal pool is calmer and great for kids.
The "South Easter" Wind: If the strong summer wind (the South Easter) is blowing, Camps Bay is better sheltered than many other beaches, but it can still get sand-blasted.

亮点(人们喜爱它的原因)
绝美背景:十二使徒岩和狮头山巍峨耸立于洁白沙滩之上,景色令人叹为观止。
洁净沙滩:这片海滩一直被评为洁净,拥有非常柔软的“粉白”沙滩。它荣获蓝旗认证,确保了高标准的环保和安全。
便利设施:您无需携带太多行李。遮阳伞和躺椅随处可租(价格通常在100至150兰特之间,具体价格取决于季节)。
繁华商业街:马路对面就是维多利亚路,这里遍布世界一流的咖啡馆和鸡尾酒吧,是欣赏日落美景、品尝美酒的理想之地。
挑战(需要准备的事项)
停车“难”:在主干道上找到停车位简直是噩梦,尤其是在一月份。除非您在早上 8 点前到达,否则强烈建议您乘坐 Uber。
温度冲击:这里的水温以冰冷著称(大西洋一侧)。水温通常在 15°C 至 18°C 之间,因此大多数人选择快速“泡一泡”,而不是长时间游泳。
小贩的骚扰:您会经常遇到兜售冰淇淋、冷饮和遮阳帽的小贩。礼貌地说“不,谢谢”通常有效,但如果您想要完全的宁静,频繁的骚扰可能会让您感到疲惫。
人潮拥挤:作为最受欢迎的海滩,这里非常拥挤,尤其是在周末和节假日。如果您想要更安静的氛围,可以向北步行 10 分钟前往格伦海滩 (Glen Beach)。
旅行小贴士
安全第一:请待在有救生员旗帜标记的区域。这里的水流可能比看起来更强劲。
潮汐池:如果海浪太大或水温太低,可以前往海滩的南端。潮汐池水流较为平静,非常适合儿童玩耍。
东南风:如果夏季盛行强劲的东南风,坎普斯湾比许多其他海滩更能避风,但仍然会受到沙尘暴的侵袭。
