Mouille Point

Situated on the Atlantic Seaboard of Cape Town, Mouille Point is known for its picturesque coastal scenery, with sweeping views of the ocean and Robben Island. The area gets its name from the French word "mouille," meaning "anchoring ground," referring to the historic breakwater built to protect ships in Table Bay. Today, the neighbourhood is a blend of modern residential buildings and open spaces, with the iconic Green Point Lighthouse—South Africa's oldest—serving as a landmark. Visitors can stroll along the scenic promenade, a popular spot for walking, jogging, and cycling, which connects to the nearby V&A Waterfront. The proximity to the sea makes it ideal for water-based activities, including kayaking and sailing. With its relaxed atmosphere, Mouille Point is also home to a variety of restaurants and cafes, offering diverse dining options against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain.
