There\u2019s something magical about watching the colours change, from gorgeous golden hour to the rich pinks and purples. And every day it\u2019s different, depending on cloud cover, humidity, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I could rant about the sunset for ages, but you\u2019ve come here to know <i>where <\/i>you should be watching it. To start off with, it\u2019s important to know that Table Mountain blocks much of the city from seeing full sunset, so you need to find elevation or get to the coast. Luckily, there\u2019s plenty of places where you can do just that.<\/p>\n<h2>When does the sun set in Cape Town?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re the kind of person to cut it close when you go sunset-hunting, it\u2019s best to check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/sun\/south-africa\/cape-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exact sunset time<\/a>. But for those of us who prefer a rough estimate, I\u2019ve added the seasonal sunset times below!<\/p>\n<p><b>Winter:<\/b> Between 17:45 and 18:15<\/p>\n<p><b>Summer:<\/b> Between 19:15 and 20:00<\/p>\n<p><b>Autumn and Spring:<\/b> Between 18:15 and 19:15<\/p>\n<h2>8 Best places to watch Cape Town&#8217;s sunsets<\/h2>\n<p>There are many beautiful places to watch the sunset in Cape Town \u2013 these are some top favourites! I\u2019d love to hear if I\u2019ve missed any of yours in the comments, and I\u2019ll visit and add it to the list.<\/p>\n<h3>Signal Hill<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2703 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"signal hill sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill-sunset.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill-sunset-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill-sunset-768x485.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/signal-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Signal Hill<\/a> is a big favourite of mine \u2013 and not just because I walk it almost every day from my <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/sea-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Point<\/a> apartment! It\u2019s also the site of my husband and my first date\u2026 so, I may be a biased view after all. But the fact remains, this is an easy walking, free-access sunset spot, with 360\u00b0 views over the city and the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>You can park at the Signal Hill lookout parking, or further back near the hilltop mosque, and take a stroll along one of the many paths in search of one of the benches dotting the hill \u2013 or you can head straight to a rock and take out a sunset picnic.<\/p>\n<h3>Sea Point Promenade<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1386 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sunset-seapoint.jpg\" alt=\"Sea Point sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sunset-seapoint.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sunset-seapoint-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sunset-seapoint-768x526.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The promenade is another fantastic, easy spot to stroll along and watch the sunset. The scene will be dotted with seagulls and cormorants, and you\u2019ll be joined by many others enjoying the evening, particularly in summer. It\u2019s a vibe \u2013 and you usually find a coffee or ice cream vendor along the walk, to top it all off.<\/p>\n<h3>Sunset cruise from the Waterfront<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1057 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cape-town-cruise.jpg\" alt=\"cape town sunset cruise\" width=\"800\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cape-town-cruise.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cape-town-cruise-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cape-town-cruise-768x560.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Watching the sunset from the ocean is really special. The whole ever-changing scene is reflected on the water, making it feel like you\u2019re completely surrounded by light and colour. And seeing Cape town and our iconic mountain from the ocean, in this light, is quite a sight!<\/p>\n<p>We also loved how you can take it all in with champagne in hand. Followed by dinner at the Waterfront, it makes for a <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/date-ideas-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perfect date idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>You can read more about the <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/sunset-champagne-cruise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>champagne sunset cruise<\/i><\/a><i> or <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cape-town-l103\/cape-town-waterfront-and-sunset-champagne-cruise-t162009\/?partner_id=XMJBAX3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>check its prices here<\/i><\/a><i>!<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Kloof Corner<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-sunset-2.jpg\" alt=\"kloof corner sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-sunset-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-sunset-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-sunset-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/kloof-corner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kloof Corner<\/a> is such a stunning and easy hike; at the top of it, you\u2019ll have one of the best views of Cape Town\u2019s sunsets. Look over Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles, and watch the sun sink past the ocean, dying everything pink as it goes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gorgeous, and the hike will only take you about 30-minutes to the top. Be sure to check what time the sun is going to set when you\u2019re hiking so that you can be at the top when the spectacle starts!<\/p>\n<h3>Lions Head<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2979\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_0205.jpg\" alt=\"lions head sunset\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_0205.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_0205-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_0205-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/lions-head\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lion\u2019s Head<\/a> has to be on this list! For many locals, Lion\u2019s Head is not their idea of a good time \u2013 particularly at a peak hour like sunset time \u2013 just because it gets so busy that you can end up queueing to move forward up the narrow paths. Still, it&#8217;s popular for a reason, and the 360\u00b0 views are spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend you put this one on the list for the shoulder seasons when it\u2019s quieter. Or be braver than I am, and hike it for sun<i>rise<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h3>Noordhoek beach<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2702 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noordhoek-beach-sunset1.jpg\" alt=\"noordhoek beach sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noordhoek-beach-sunset1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noordhoek-beach-sunset1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noordhoek-beach-sunset1-768x516.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Noordhoek Beach is a long, lovely beach, and a great place to watch the sun sink over the horizon. It\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/dog-friendly-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dog-friendly<\/a> and relatively quiet!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Noordhoek is not the only beach you can enjoy the sunset from \u2013 it just makes for such a nice long sunset stroll! But the Clifton Beaches, Camps Bay, and Bloubergstrand are also wonderful, and you really can\u2019t go wrong with any of <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/best-beaches-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Town\u2019s beaches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Rooftop bars<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few restaurants in Cape Town with rooftop bars, where you can watch the sky change colours with a cocktail in hand. Not a bad way to <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/cape-town-at-night\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start the night<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite rooftop bar is Rick\u2019s Americain, but some other great options are RED Roof Bar, The Deck Rooftop &amp; Pool Bar, and Harald&#8217;s Bar &amp; Terrace. Just keep in mind that you won\u2019t be able to see the actual sunset from here, just the sky \u2013 and Table Mountain at golden hour!<\/p>\n<h3>Chapman&#8217;s Peak<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2854\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/golden-hours-on-chapmans-peak1.jpg\" alt=\"golden hour on chapman's peak(1)\" width=\"800\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/golden-hours-on-chapmans-peak1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/golden-hours-on-chapmans-peak1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/golden-hours-on-chapmans-peak1-768x495.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My final favourite: the Old East Fort on Chapman&#8217;s Peak Drive. This old ruin is a 2-minute walk up from the little car park, and it&#8217;s got exquisite views over <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/hout-bay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hout Bay<\/a>, Chapman&#8217;s Peak, and the ocean! I recommend going at golden hour and having a drink or picnic while the sun dips down. It can get really windy (as you can tell by the extreme angle of all the trees here), so depending on the day you may need to shelter against the fort!<\/p>\n<h2>The best time of day<\/h2>\n<p>There you have it, the very best places to watch Cape Town\u2019s stunning sunsets! Before I moved here from <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/western-cape-towns\/oudtshoorn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Outdtshoorn<\/a>, I could count on my hands the number of times I\u2019d seen the sun slowly pass over the horizon \u2013 so often looking like an egg as the atmosphere stretches it out in those final moments. So I find our city\u2019s sunsets particularly special, and I go out to watch them as often as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know which spot is your favourite, and if I\u2019m missing any of your favourite spots! I would <i>not <\/i>mind adding to the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching the sunset is truly the best way to end a long work day or celebrate life on a great one.
