La Belle is a cafe/restaurant on the sea front in the busy area Camps Bay in Cape Town, South Africa. They serve a full menu of breakfast items, dinner items as well as cocktails and other beverages. They have a great view of the bay and a big seating area outside as well as one inside with a fire that is a bit warmer. If you are a big group, I would recommend booking ahead #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

#wheretogo
During our visit to Cape Town, we spent a day at the Camps Bay. I am happy to say that Camps Bay Beach does not disappoint! The beach was beautiful and vibrant. We love the white sandy beach with mountain views in the background and the crystal clear ocean. There are sunbeds available for rent if you want to chill on the beach. It was sososo stunning I couldn’t bear to leave and stayed a bit to wave watch. There are many cafes and restaurants lining against the coast of the beach. Do note that there are many street vendors selling their art but luckily they were not pushy. Also, alcohol is not allowed at the beach. We love our visit to Camps Bay so much !

Give us the wide-angle view: what kind of beach are we talking about?
Camps Bay is Cape Town's party beach: a beautiful, long stretch of white sand bordered by a promenade full of restaurants, clubs, and hotels for when you need a break from the sun. It's fun and lively and can feel a bit crowded—and, fine, maybe a bit tacky—during the peak summer months of December and January. But the setting is absolutely gorgeous, with the Twelve Apostles mountain range making for a craggy backdrop. Amid the loud beach bars you'll find some dining gems, so it's definitely worth a stop.
Lovely. So how do we get there?
Camps Bay is one of the more accessible beaches close to the city—you can park right alongside it (well, if you're lucky to get a spot) and pop over if you just want to feel the sand between your toes for a minute. Another bonus: the long strip of restaurants and bars right across the street. The views are amazing, and you can hop over to grab a quick bite or drink before heading back to the sand.
What about equipment—if we're looking for more than a wade, can we rent gear?
Bring your own gear, unless you're staying at one of the hotels.
That's to say, if we can even wade. Is the water worth a dip?
This is Cape Town, where the water is more for looking at than swimming—the temps are pretty icy year round.
Okay, how about the sand, in that case?
Beautiful, soft, pristine white sand: the platonic ideal of a beach.
If we want to grab a seat (and a bite to eat), what are our best bets?
There are plenty of great restaurants: Grab breakfast at La Belle, or Mexican fare at Del Mar. Chinchilla is a hot new bar.

[cp]Camps Bay Camps Bay, a wealthy community on the back of the mountains. You can see the twelve disciples and the connected Table Mountain. Legend has it that even the twelve disciples of Christ are attracted to it.
William..
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with Table Mountain overlooking the city with cable cars, walking trails and downhill zip lines. The bays of the sea surround the city, people can't stand the loneliness, and they walk out of the family to feel the sun and the sea.
