Granger Bay Boulevard

Granger Bay Boulevard is a residential street in Green Point that runs alongside the Atlantic coast, connecting urban neighborhoods with waterfront housing and entertainment venues. The street has a tree-lined character with shops, cafes, and recreational facilities distributed along its length, creating a mixed-use waterfront environment.

The boulevard emerged from redevelopment of former industrial land into a modern residential quarter in the late 1990s. This transformation marked Cape Town's shift from a working harbor district to a contemporary waterfront neighborhood.

The street serves as a gathering point where residents participate in morning jogs, evening walks, and community activities throughout the year.

Parking is available at several points along the street, and traffic flows in one direction from east to west. Walking along the boulevard is straightforward, with clear access to the beach and waterfront paths.

The street features a 40 meter (131 foot) observation wheel that offers sweeping views across Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the Atlantic waters. This landmark provides one of the few elevated vantage points for viewing the entire bay.
