Beaches....
1. Camps Bay - The view of the 12 Apostles speaks for itself.
2. Clifton - Consists of four different beaches separated by spectacular rock formations. Vendors sell cheap ice cream up and down Clifton Two, and you can rent beach chairs for 5 rand.
3. Fish Hoek - Quaint and quiet, with warmer water cause it's on the Indian Ocean side of the mountain.
4. Knysna - Brenton on Sea - Our own private Jurassic-Park style beach that we discovered on the Garden Route.
Restaurants
1. Coco WaWa's - A 3 minute walk from my house in Rondebosch, it's actually a little too good which means I eat there a little too much. You get free internet with your food, and they have the most amazing mango-mint-lychee fruit blend drinks and burgers/salads/sandwiches. Ohhh and coffee which comes with a mini brownie...
2. Mr. Pickwick's - An eclectic Long Street cafe with really funny menu names that stays open LATE.
3. Cape to Cuba - Also on Long Street, Cape to Cuba has decent Cuban Food and THE BEST strawberry mojito that I could ever imagine.
4. Marcel's - Ok, so it's not a restaurant, but it's an amazing frozen yogurt and ice cream place in Rondebosch. The strawberry froyo plus chocolate chips and double fudge crumble has been my order there lately...
5. Lola's - It's an actual vegetarian restaurant in Cape Town! The wraps and pies are soooo good.
(Poncho's) - I can't actually list a "Mexican" place on this list, but sometimes you are just craving guacamole and margaritas, and then Poncho's gets the job done.
Bars
1. Roots - Where I celebrated my 21st birthday! Indoor/Outdoor island vibe with tiki torches, vines, and sand everywhere.
2. The Waiting Room - Cute little upstairs place on Long Street with multiple balconies / lots of nooks and crannies to relax and hang out with friends.
3. Cybar - Ok it actually kind of sucks, but it's our local (and virtually only) neighborhood bar, so I can't hate.
4. Stones - There are a couple around time, and they all have their own vibe. But basically there are always lots of pool tables and 2 for 1 Wednesdays.
5. Dubliner - An Irish pub on Long Street! Fun live music, although not that much of an authentic Irish flavor.
Clubs
1. Tin Roof - BEST PLAYLIST OF ALL TIME. All the popular current club songs, as well as funny 90s American flashback music and much-loved oldies. I could dance all-night here (and have, a few times.)
2. Springbok - Kind of like a maze, with two outdoor areas, a dance floor, and a pub area. Girls can dance on tables!
3. Cubana - A chilled out, diverse place with good music and flaming drinks. It's more of a bar/restaurant during the day, but at night it has a fun Latin flavor.
4. Hemisphere - A club on the 30th story of one of the downtown buildings. 360 degree views of the city. Girls have to wear heels, and it's kind of swanky and pretentious. But still...
5. Zulu - Zulu has a really African vibe with great music and a vibrant crowd. Plus it stays open later than some of the other places on Long Street, which makes it a perfect place for "lasties."
