It is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa and is currently home to a surfing community, centered on the popular 'Surfer's Corner'.

Muizenberg Catwalk

Reviewed By _Kirsten-Holmes_0 - Cape Town, South Africa

This is a fantastic walk, but muggers at Sunrise Beach and from St James on have been operating for years. They don't just steal: they stab and injure, so stick between Sunrise and St James at busy hours between 10:00 and 15:00, or check in at the Law Enforcement offices to find out their patrol times. They walk the catwalk at sunrise and invite the public to join for a safe walk.
