1. Lion’s Head – Cape Town
One of the most popular places to watch the sunset in the city is Lion’s Head. The Lion’s Head hike is an easy to medium difficulty hike and can get quite tricky near the top where you’ll have to climb a few ladders. You’ll be pleased with yourself once you get to the top in order to see the sun illuminate the ocean with its striking pink colour.
2. Signal Hill
Another amazing spot to watch the sunset in Cape Town is at Signal Hill, a beautiful hill that cuddles Lion’s Head. Here you have views of Table Mountain, the entire CBD as well as the Atlantic Seaboard and Robben Island. There is a massive tarp that is laid out on the ground for visitors to come sit down with sundowners.
In case it gets a bit chilly outside, you’ll able to get back into your car. From here you can still enjoy the sunset in comfort and warmth on Signal Hill.
3. Table Mountain
On the day that the table cloth has been taken off the top of Table Mountain and the sun is out, make sure to go up. From Table Mountain you’ll have one of the most beautiful views of the sun finally falling into the sea. You’ll also be able to see everything from here, including the Northern Suburbs.

4. Camps Bay Tidal Pool
