Colourful fishing boats in Kalk Bay harbour with mountains behind

False Bay

Kalk Bay

Kalk Bay is a fishing village that the city grew around. The boats still come in to the harbour, the seals still wait for them, and the main road is lined with junk shops, cafés and bookshops.

Tips for your visit

  • •Take the train along the coast from the city for the view.
  • •Buy fish straight off the boats, then have it cooked nearby.
  • •Check the tide before walking the rock paths toward St James.
