Home to the famous Muizenberg Beach Huts, this is the one place most visitors stop and take in the history while enjoying a dip in the warmest ocean spot in Cape Town, also famous for its long soft rolling waves, perfect to learn to surf.
Whether they are called beach huts, beach boxes, bathing boxes or even beach houses, there is never any doubt, when mentioned alongside Muizenberg, that people are referring to the stretch of colourful beach huts on Muizenberg beach.
The bathing box is a throw-back to the “bathing machine” of the 1800’s—a cart-like structure that was wheeled down to the water’s edge, allowing the ladies to change into their chin-to-ankle bathing wear and frolic modestly in the shallows.
Bright, vibrant and very photogenic, the Muizenberg beach huts continue to be an instagrammer’s delight and a perfect backdrop and location for film and commercial shoots. The beach with its huts is a perfect setting for safe swimming, family outings, learning to surf, sun-bathing and ice-cream eating. The brightly coloured beach huts are here to stay—Muizenberg would not be Muizenberg without them.

Neighborhoods
History and Arts along the False Bay Coast
Muizenberg has drawn crowds for centuries. Whether it be the expansive beach, warmer seas or vibrant gatherings, this family holiday destination has always offered something unique and special.
Many of the historic buildings and sites reflect the history of this vibrant community; The Battle of Muizenberg, Het Posthuys Museum, the Millionaires Mile and Cecil John Rhodes’ Cottage, just to mention a few. There is a warmth in the people of Muizenberg, a rhythm much like the soft rolling waves and a vibrancy much like the colourful bathing boxes that line its shores. It is both calming and inviting, a welcome relief from the bustling busyness and frantic churning of much of the world today. Lets look back a moment.
Muizenberg Train Station
A Rather Dapper Visitor
Just a brief look around in Muizenberg and the building will be telling their own tales. In a bygone era the richest of the rich from Johannesburg would holiday here coming in on the railway and taking in the warmer seas and fresh clean air. Muizenberg was the destination of choice.
Promenading has been superseded by the opportunity to take to the water and catch a wave, something Heather Price may well have sparked being the first photographed to stand up surfing; on an Hawaiian wooden long board thanks to some training from visiting navy sailors.
Boyes Drive Race Track
In 1936 speed trials were held on the steep section of Boyes Drive from the main road to the top of the hill around the hairpin bend. Cars raced individually to see who could complete the course in the shortest time and the crowds flocked to see these foreign machines.
Centre for Festivals
Rather successfully Muizenberg has welcomed families yearly for ‘The Cape Town International Kite Festival, The Muizenberg Festival, many surfing championships, canoeing events, sailing schools and so much more. Perhaps another rising trend is Sunrise Beach Kitesurfing. Early Kites posed a danger and surfers could be seen being thrown tens of meters out of the water and onto the nearby road with catastrophic consequences. Now a testing spot for kite designers worldwide, sunrise beach is fast being heralded as the best training beach around.
