Cape Town Collections
A vast redeveloped dock at one end of the peninsula and small working fishing harbours at the other, all of them still tied to the water.
Cape Town exists because of its harbour, and the waterfronts around the peninsula still show every stage of that. One is a major redevelopment of shops, restaurants and museums built around a dock that is still working. The others are small fishing harbours where the boats come in and are unloaded in front of you.
The three below cover that whole range, from the busiest place in the city to a naval town at the edge of False Bay. The remaining two are working harbours where the appeal is the boats, the seals and whatever is being landed that morning.
