ATLANTIC SEABOARD REAL ESTATE: LIFE AT THE TIP OF AFRICA
Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard is one of the most sought-after real estate areas in South Africa – and with good reason! The status that an Atlantic Seaboard property brings to its owner is unparalleled. The area’s illustrious beaches and close proximately to world-class retail facilities, such as the V&A Waterfront, make it an ideal location for those looking for exclusive real estate.
Pam Golding Properties offers a full range of coveted Atlantic Seaboard real estate, including extraordinary property in Sea Point, Clifton, Camps Bay, Llandudno and Hout Bay. Many of the properties have, in addition to panoramic ocean views, spectacular views of Lion’s Head, the Twelve Apostles mountain range and the world renowned sandy white beaches. The area is affectionately known as Millionaire’s Mile by Capetonians and Atlantic Seaboard real estate, especially in Bantry Bay, Camps Bay and Clifton, illustrates why it was given this name. The unique unspoiled beauty of one of Africa's southern coasts together with the most sought-after micro climate has catapulted Atlantic Seaboard property to some of the most desirable real estate in the world.
The stretches of fine-grained beaches that run alongthe crisp Atlantic Ocean are complemented by scenic drives. Atlantic Seaboard property provides investors with a wide selection of real estate to choose from. Each area has a distinct, yet almost equally exclusive, assortment of buildings. Large mansions adorn the mountainside, while stylish beach apartments and private bungalows run along the shoreline.
Green Point is ideally located near Cape Town’s central business district and it is home to many professionals and families. Although Cape Town’s nightlife is only a short drive away, Green Point offers its own range of entertainment facilities. The V&A Waterfront provides Green Point real estate owners with an exciting array of restaurants, bars and exclusive designer stores. Green Point’s main road is known for its vibrant evening atmosphere, with several popular nightclubs in the vicinity.
Green Point real estate comprises mainly smaller homes and apartments, and medium to large hotels. Old buildings are being replaced by luxury apartment blocks and modern houses, while historic buildings - protected by the Heritage Trust - enhance the aesthetics and atmosphere of the area. Apartments located at the V&A Waterfront tend to be more expensive than those situated along the main road because they have astonishing views of either Table Mountain or the V&A Waterfront shopping centre.
Property in Mouille Point has been steadily increasing in popularity because it is located slightly away from the hustle-and-bustle of Cape Town. It is, however, still near enough for Mouille Point residents to enjoy the city’s entertainment and business facilities.
The area boasts the Atlantic Seaboard’s only golf course, where avid golfers can relax and wile away the hours.
Mouille Point real estate is primarily made up of luxury apartment complexes overlooking the ocean, Robben Island or Lion’s Head. Whatever Mouille Point property you choose, it is almost guaranteed to have an excellent view. Peruse our exclusive variety of real estate in Mouille Point.
Property in Sea Point
Sea Point real estate offers a wide selection of property, ranging from modern beachfront apartments and penthouses to large houses and private villas situated along the slopes of Signal Hill. The area is divided into two distinct areas by the Main Road, which separates the larger family homes from the beachside complexes.
The Sea Point promenade runs along the beachfront and is a popular destination for Sea Point real estate owners to walk their dogs, go for a morning jog or watch the sun set over the ocean.
Bantry Bay is one of the most exclusive of the Atlantic Seaboard’s property areas. It caters to an elite group of homeowners who enjoy living in luxury apartments on the water’s edge and mansions on the slopes of Lions Head overlooking the Atlantic coastline. Real estate in Bantry Bay is conveniently sheltered from the wind by Signal Hill and Lion’s Head.
Fresnaye real estate is located high on the slopes of Lion’s Head, providing residents with unprecedented panoramic views, including the distant sight of Robben Island. Despite its high altitude, Fresnaye is incredibly sheltered from the wind.
Property in Clifton is known for its secluded beach bungalows and hillside mansions, while the area itself is famous for being the home of wealthy and famous individuals who are undeterred by the high prices of Clifton property.
Properties in Clifton are fewer than in the areas closer to Cape Town’s city centre. Therefore,
the demand for Clifton real estate greatly exceeds supply, making Clifton property owners an
envied group. Clifton real estate’s close proximity to Clifton beach is another benefit of owning property in the area. Many of the beach bungalows have secluded private paths to the sandy shore. Uninterrupted views of the ocean are commonplace, but never cease to be beautiful.
People who own property in Camps Bay form an elite group of homeowners. Camps Bay real estate is expensive and highly sought after. Situated between Table Mountain and the pristine Camps Bay beach, it is easy to understand why the area is so popular among foreigners and
locals alike. The tree-lined beach is the primary attraction for those who enjoyspending their
days relaxing on the sand, soaking up the sun. There are many cafés and bars that serve
delicious cocktails and provide spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean.
The affluent area is characterised by large villas that are impeccably designed and built to
the highest standard of architecture. The area also contains many guesthouses and B&Bs that cater to the great number of wealthy visitors to the area.

Real estate in Bakoven
Bakoven is considered by many to be Camps Bay’s little sister because Bakoven real estate, set above Victoria Road, is reminiscent of
Camps Bay’s grand properties. On the other hand, Bakoven property located below Victoria road comprises charming seaside bungalows and villas.
Whether you are looking for an ornate hillside mansion or a bungalow with a small village atmosphere, Bakoven real estate can provide you with the ideal property.
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded place to buy property, Llandudno is a wise choice. Its beach is arguably the most unspoiled beach on the Atlantic Seaboard, and it is ideally sheltered from the Cape Town wind.
Those who live in Llandudno and work in Cape Town enjoy a scenic commute with views of the immense Atlantic Ocean and the sandy beaches along the shore. There are no stores or restaurants in the area, giving it the feel of a small seaside village.
Buying Llandudno real estate is a profitable investment because the property appreciates fast. Property predominantly takes the form of
large houses, and villas.
Property in Hout Bay tends to be almost as secluded as in Llandudno. The area is, however, slightly more developed than its smaller counterpart, with many stores and restaurants providing food and entertainment for both Llandudno and Hout Bay residents. Originally a fishing village, Hout Bay has many gourmet seafood restaurants serving delicious fresh fish and crayfish.
Hout Bay is steeped in history, and its residents refer to it as a village to preserve its rural reputation – and perhaps to discourage outsiders from discovering its secret beauty.
