The beachfront that runs on Victoria Road is home to a number of hotspots, such as Café Caprice – a popular spot during the day and a glamorous place to enjoy cocktails once the sun goes down. There are also many wining and dining options further out in Sea Point, Green Point, the V&A Waterfront and the City Centre. This means that you will always be spoilt for choice when it comes to heading out in the evenings.
- Shopping. While Bakoven itself has no commercial space, there are a number of shopping options in the general area, all an easy drive or walk to Bakoven. The Promenade is a shopping centre that is found in Camps Bay. Located on Victoria Road, the main beachfront road, this mall is home to a variety of stores, such as restaurants, coffee shops, post office, spas and beauty salons, art galleries, real estate agents, a pharmacy and a supermarket. A quick 10 minute drive or less takes you to the V&A Waterfront and the CBD, where even more shopping options can be found. Sea Point’s Main Road also houses various shops.
- Entertainment. Bakoven itself is quiet and peaceful, which is one of its primary benefits. The greater suburb of Camps Bay however offers the perfect place to head out once the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean. Along with a diverse range of bars and restaurants found on the beachfront, other highlights in Camps Bay include the Theatre on the Bay – the best place to watch a number of shows, from comedy to drama, musicals and everything in between; Dizzy’s – perfect for pizza and weekly karaoke; The Bungalow – conveniently located next door in Clifton and plenty more besides.
