It\u2019s as if the sun decides to put on a proper show just before retiring for the day, turning the sky into vivid hues of orange and pink, often overlaid with a misty veil for dramatic effect. This natural spectacle is not to be missed \u2013 and it deserves to be observed from a prime vantage point. Luckily, the Mother City is not short on jaw-dropping backdrops \u2013 so, without further ado here are some of our favourite sunset spots in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10471\" style=\"width: 5195px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10471\" class=\"wp-image-10471 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset spots Cape Town\" width=\"5185\" height=\"3457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=900,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1440,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/kym-ellis-VS1uBhwf8a4-unsplash.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5185px) 100vw, 5185px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take in the sunset from Table Mountain<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Watch the sunset on a mountain\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>The Mother City\u2019s iconic natural landmarks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/experience\/table-mountain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Table Mountain<\/a> and, just opposite, the smaller Lion\u2019s Head, offer what must be the most spectacular sunset spots in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Town<\/a>. Lion\u2019s Head is one of the city\u2019s most popular hiking routes with stellar views of the Atlantic Seaboard and the CBD from the top \u2013 pack a bottle of bubbly and watch the sun sink into the ocean on one side, then turn around to marvel at the rising moon on the other. It\u2019s a sight to behold on any given day but especially when there\u2019s a full moon. A word of warning: the Full Moon hike gets exceptionally busy. Pack a headlight, watch your steps and take your time on the descent, you won\u2019t be going anywhere fast! Signal Hill at the foot of Lion\u2019s Head is another scenic sunset option and an ideal spot from which to toast the end of a beautiful day with a picnic and a chilled glass of wine. Bliss. For a lofty but leisurely sunset expedition ascend Table Mountain in a cable car to snap a million sunset photos from various angles at the top. Last but not least, there\u2019s Kloof Corner, an easy hike on Table Mountain that only takes about 30 (fairly steep but totally achievable) minutes \u2013 you\u2019ll be rewarded with panoramic sunset views from up high!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10467\" style=\"width: 4734px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10467\" class=\"wp-image-10467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset spots Cape Town\" width=\"4724\" height=\"3154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=899,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1438,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg 1438w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=513,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/Webp.net-compress-image-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4724px) 100vw, 4724px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spectacular views from Bloubergstrand<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>\u2026on a beach<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s an endless choice of beach sunset options in the Mother City from the renowned Camps Bay and Clifton beaches to lesser-known gems. It\u2019s worth leaving the Camps Bay crowds behind to go in search of two of our favourite hidden treasures: Robyn\u2019s Beach, a tiny alcove halfway between Camps Bay and Bakoven (there\u2019s no parking whatsoever, so walk from Camps Bay); and Beta Beach in Bakoven itself. Both are real hush-hush spots that locals like to keep to themselves \u2013 but we thought we\u2019d let you in on the secret! Llandudno is another great spot to watch the sunset while the kids splash in the water (there are no bars or restaurants nearby, so come prepared). If you happen to find yourself cruising along Chapman\u2019s Peak Drive at sunset it\u2019s worth stopping off at Noordhoek Beach \u2013 the 8km long stretch of powdery white sand, flanked by majestic slopes covered in coastal fynbos, seems to expand into a never-ending horizon. It\u2019s vast and wild \u2013 perfect for a sunset walk (but avoid walking too far and then having to return in the dark, for safety reasons). On the other side of town, Sunset Beach, a less crowded alternative to Bloubergstrand yet undoubtedly one of the best sunset spots in Cape Town, will mesmerise you with the most spectacular views of Table Mountain and Robben Island.<\/p>\n<p>P.S: We should mention at this point that alcohol is not allowed on any of Cape Town\u2019s beaches \u2013 bring soft drinks, then head to a bar after for the stronger stuff.<\/p>\n<div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday?action=DesignATrip&wId=001&regionName=Cape%20Town&regionId=24\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner \" data-entity-type=\"region\" data-country-id=\"1\" data-region-id=\"24\">\n                    <figure><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/regions\/kodak_images\/000\/000\/024\/original\/table-mountain-waterfront-cape-town-south-africa-timbuktu.jpg?w=500&h=634&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center center data-country-id=\"1\" data-region-id=\"24\" class=\"timbuktu_desktop_image\" alt=\"Cape Town Image\"><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/regions\/kodak_images\/000\/000\/024\/original\/table-mountain-waterfront-cape-town-south-africa-timbuktu.jpg?w=768&h=309&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=1&q=50&crop=center center data-country-id=\"1\" data-region-id=\"24\" class=\"timbuktu_mobile_image\" alt=\"Cape Town Image\"><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><span class=\"timbuktu_destination\" style=\"color:#128d8d\">Cape Town<\/span><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Design your own trip<\/div>\n                        <span class=\"timbuktu_works\">Choose a destination, pick your properties and we'll do the rest<\/span>\n                        <div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Design a trip<\/div>\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10464\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10464\" class=\"wp-image-10464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset spots Cape Town\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1440,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2020\/01\/TheMarly_120219_0434copy-900x600.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sip on a sundowner at Baptiste Rooftop Bar<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>\u2026in a bar<\/h2>\n<p>Talking of bars\u2026we love a good tipple here at Timbuktu \u2013 lucky then that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Town<\/a> comes up trumps in that department!

The new kid on the block is <a href=\"https:\/\/baptisterooftop.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baptiste Bar<\/a> at the recently reopened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/lodge\/the-marly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Marly Hotel<\/a> in Camps Bay. The Marly cleverly expanded by adding a whole new floor of guest rooms \u2013 and then topping it off with yet another level, featuring a rooftop pool, lounge and bar. The result is a jaw-dropping 360-degree view of Camps Bay which, mixed with some delicious cocktails, makes the perfect sunset combination. Further out of Camps Bay towards Llandudno, you\u2019ll happen upon the tried and tested Leopard Bar at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/lodge\/12-apostles-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Twelve Apostles Hotel<\/a>, a super plush sunset affair.
