• There is a marked trail run at the V&A, and the Sea Point
Promenade enables you to walk, run, cycle or skate from
the Sea Point Pavilion all the way to the Waterfront right
on the ocean’s edge. If you don’t own a bike, you can hire
a funky orange one from Upcycles. www.upcycles.co.za
• For the very energetic a run up Signal Hill is a scenic
option, and mountain lovers will be fighting for a terraced
apartment in 21 on Battery on its slopes.
• The Critical Mass cycle ride celebrates the full moon and
riders meet at Green Point Circle at 20:00, then cycle
together from Granger Bay Boulevard through Mouille
Point and Three Anchor Bay, finishing in Long Street
where there is plenty to do if you decide to stay and play.

• The Oranjezicht City Farm (OZCF) Market Day is held
every Saturday in Granger Bay in the V&A Waterfront,
from 09:00 to 14:00. This is the place to shop for fresh
seasonal produce, chat to the local growers and support
small businesses. www.ozcf.co.za/market-day
• The V&A Food Market will supplement whatever you
could not source at OZCF. This artisanal market is open
seven days a week and is a foodie heaven. www.waterfront.

• In Sea Point The Mojo Market is just a step away from the
Promenade, and you could easily get lost for a day in this
delectable place. The recent refurbishment of the Ritz
Hotel, complete with a revolving restaurant on the top floor,
the upgrade of the Promenade, the increase in the number
of restaurants, and new developments like One8 on
Albany and The Estate on St Johns are an indication that Sea
Point has reclaimed its place in the sun, and is an excellent
location for those seeking a beachside cosmopolitan lifestyle.

This stretch of spectacularly beautiful ocean-side real estate
has always been a place where people lived, strolled along
the Promenade with or without dogs and children, popped in
somewhere nice for coffee, and even walked to work in the city.
But now it is turning into possibly the most truly mixed-use of
South Africa’s mixed-use precincts.
