点评:After a cold wet morning on Table Mountain a quiet stroll along a sunny Camps Bay Beach was a great way to finish off our morning tour.
We have been to Camps Bay at various time but this was a deserted beach, as out of season it is very quiet. It was a relaxing walk along the pristine white sands and a quick "toe" swim in the water, which is often colder than people think. Very much like the waters around Cornwall were we spent our childhood swimming.
During the Summer months this is one of the most popular bays around Cape Town and gets very busy with families and visitors. So if you are in Cape Town during these months and want to spend a day ay this beach then consider an early start. Car parking along the beach is limited, but the Hop on Hop off Bus is an ideal way to get here.
The back drop to the beach is probably one of the most stunning anywhere. Table Mountain (now devoid of the earlier table cloth) Lions Head. Then to the south you have the rugged expanse of the 12 Apostles standing proud against the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
We were even lucky to watch a whale splash not far off the beach, a pleasant an unexpected sight.
Look out for the Sand Sculptors with their unique art of local land marks and wildlife.
There are plenty of places to eat and drink along the beach front and some shopping areas as well.
翻译:在桌山度过了一个阴冷潮湿的早晨后,沿着阳光明媚的坎普斯湾海滩悠闲漫步,是我们结束上午行程的绝佳方式。
我们曾多次造访坎普斯湾,但这次的海滩却空无一人——由于处于旅游淡季,这里格外安静。我们沿着洁净无比的白色沙滩放松地散步,还顺便把脚趾伸进海水中试了试水温,其实海水往往比人们想象的要冷得多。那种感觉就如同我童年时在康沃尔郡周边的海水里游泳一般。在夏季,这里是开普敦周边最受欢迎的海滩之一,常有许多家庭和游客光顾。因此,如果您在这几个月里身处开普敦并想在这片海滩上度过一天,建议早点出发。海滩沿线的停车位有限,而随上随下的巴士则是前往此处的理想方式。
这片海滩的背景景色或许堪称全世界最迷人的景观之一:桌山(如今已不见昔日覆盖其上的“桌布”状云层)与狮子头山。往南望去,可以看到12使徒岩巍然屹立,与深蓝色的大西洋相映成趣。
我们很幸运,能在离海滩不远的地方目睹鲸鱼跃出水面的景象,这一幕既令人愉悦又出乎意料。
别忘了留意那些沙雕艺术家们——他们以独特的技艺塑造出当地的地标与野生动物形象。
海滨沿线有许多餐饮场所,还有一些购物区可供逛逛。
