Muizenberg is a beach-side suburb of Cape Town. It is situated where the shore of the Cape Peninsula curves round to the east on the False Bay coast.

Muizenberg is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa and it is home to the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences. Historically, the village has several special features, including Het Posthuys (the Post House), Rhodes' Cottage and the site of the Battle of Muizenberg. Rhodes' Cottage is a small house on the seafront that Cecil John Rhodes bought as a holiday cottage and this was where he died in 1902. The house is preserved as a museum dedicated to Rhodes' life and is open to the public.

Muizenberg has a fine, long beach that in effect stretches all the way round the top of False Bay to the Strand, a distance of over 20 km. A popular photo motif, for fashion shoots, are the colourful wooden cabins. False Bay, known for its population of White Sharks, also has a shark watch service that operates from Muizenberg, signalling alerts when sharks come in proximity of bathers and surfers. Above Muizenberg there is a line of steep cliffs that is very popular as a venue for rock climbing. However, certain parts of the cliff are off-limits to climbers when birds nest on the ledges.

Above Muizenberg there is a line of rugged, steep cliffs offering some superb rock climbing opportunities, although at certain times these cliffs are off-limits to protect birds’ nests. There is a coastal walk from Muizenberg to Kalk Bay that includes the historical mile.The Zandvlei estuary enters the ocean in Muizenberg. The estuary is one of the most important estuaries for fish spawning on the coastline and is home to the Imperial Yacht Club and Peninsula Canoe Club.

Muizenberg has her own theatre, in a similar fashion to Kalk Bay, and the Masque Theatre puts on a range of shows from ballet, through comedy, to jazz. Muizenberg’s Palmer Street is the heart of the old village, with small colourful homes, organic shops and restaurants and is an ideal spot to while away a Saturday morning.
