Cape Town Breakwater: A Glimpse into History

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from any location in Cape Peninsula, head towards the N2 highway, following the signs for Cape Town. Once you reach the city, take the exit for the M6 toward the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Continue straight, and you'll come to a roundabout. Take the second exit onto Alfred Road. Follow the road, and you'll see signs for the Waterfront. Look for parking areas around the V&A Waterfront, which may incur a fee of around R20 to R40 per hour. The Breakwater is a short walk from the parking.

• Public Transportation (MyCiTi Bus)

  For those using public transport, take the MyCiTi bus from various points in Cape Peninsula to the Civic Centre Station in Cape Town. From there, transfer to the MyCiTi bus heading to the V&A Waterfront. The fare for the MyCiTi bus is approximately R10 to R15, depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at the V&A Waterfront, follow the signs to the Breakwater, which is easily accessible on foot.

• Taxi or Rideshare (Uber)

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Uber. Simply input 'Cape Town Breakwater, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront' as your destination. The cost will vary depending on your starting location but expect to pay between R100 to R300 for the ride.
