Granger Bay Boulevard, Residential street in Green Point, South Africa
Granger Bay Boulevard extends along the Atlantic Ocean coastline, connecting the urban center with residential complexes and leisure facilities at the waterfront.
The boulevard development transformed a former industrial zone into a modern residential area, reflecting Cape Town's urban evolution during the late 20th century.
The street serves as a gathering point where residents participate in morning jogs, evening walks, and community activities throughout the year.
The one-way traffic system on Granger Bay Boulevard directs vehicles from east to west, with multiple access points to parking facilities.
The boulevard features an observation wheel reaching 40 meters high, providing views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Cape Town progresses between sea and mountains with a pace that varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. As soon as you follow the Atlantic coast, the air becomes cooler, and then the city broadens towards the peaks where trails climb along rocky slopes. You then pass through older streets with colorful facades that catch the eye before reaching gardens stretching at the foot of Table Mountain. The recent history remains very present, and the traces of apartheid can still be felt when visiting the island where many political prisoners were held. Markets bring a lively, bustling atmosphere, much like the beaches where swimmers and marine animals mingle. This selection highlights places that define Cape Town’s spirit, allowing you to explore the city through its panoramas, neighborhoods, and heritage.
