Home to a cluster of well-known and oft-photographed bathing boxes on the beach, St James is a picturesque area that offers beachgoers respite from the westerly wind.
Situated three kilometres from Muizenberg is trendy Kalk Bay, with its fishing harbour, unique village atmosphere, craft shops and its historical cottages that line the cobbled, narrow streets which snake up the mountainside towards Boyes Drive.
Lakeside lies between the suburbs of West Lake and Muizenberg, with the rugged Steenberg, Mountain of stone, towering in the backdrop and the Zandvlei (sandy lake) in the foreground.
