Just 5 minutes from the Sea Point promenade and beach, you can spend your free time enjoying stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean – even sunsets, perhaps – or the robust cafe and restaurant culture of the neighborhood. Sea Point is just 10 minutes from the city center, and in a clean and safe pocket of the city.
