Area Info
Located just a bit further up the West Coast from Milnerton, Big Bay sits in its bay on the west side of Bloubergstrand, meaning "blue beach mountain". Only 20 minutes from central Cape Town and close to Melkbosstrand, it’s often considered the gateway to the Cape West Coast.
Big Bay is a hugely popular destination for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing, with its beach offering those iconic, can't-miss views of Table Mountain and Robben Island. The area falls within a Marine Nature Reserve, known for its marine life, including delicacies like Cape rock lobster and perlemoen (abalone), though catching the latter is prohibited.
While the beach is a major draw, another highlight is Eden on the Bay, a modern mixed-use development just off the shore. This spot offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and residential and office spaces, all connected by pedestrian walkways, courtyards, and open spaces without anything standing between the development and the beach, other than the sand.
