Located near Simon’s Town (+50kms from Cape Town central) lies the secluded beachside campsite of Miller’s Point, one of my favourite destinations for an overnight microadventure. Cycle through some of Cape Town's most magnificent coastal scenery. Go to sleep to the sounds of the Indian Ocean and wake up to golden shades of dawn and a dip in the bay. Catch a glimpse of seals and penguins. Fuel up at one of the local cafe´s on the way back. (less)
