Simon's Town - Cape Town

Simon’s Town is one of the most delightful villages 40 km from Cape Town. En route to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, this quaint town is the residence of the South African navy and steeped in nautical history.

Simon's Town's cobbled streets are aligned with restored cottages and homes, whilst the main road is an assortment of shops, coffee shops and restaurants.

Simon’s Town’s historical mile, St George’s Street, has 21 buildings over 150 years’ old and includes the navy museum, a toy museum, the Church of St Francis, said to be the oldest Anglican Church in the country, a Mosque built in 1926, and the Dido Valley Cemetery, filled with gracious headstones made virtually illegible by the salt-laden sea air and wind.
