i have planned 4 nigfhts in cape town: one day table mountain, kirstenbosh garden, V & A waterfront shopping. 2nd day: cape point and peninsula tour and penguins at boulders...and 3 rd day relax on the beaches of camps bay and clifotn mainly and visit bloughberg beach.
Is one day neough to do these beaches and relax on camps and clifton? mind you..i am going to a carribean destination after that....
Also, i find car rentals very expensive..55$/day...any other suggestions of car rental places (automatic gear)
what i really need to know is if 1 full day is enough to relax on camps bay, clifton and blougberg beaches? should i spend like few hours on each and then the rest of the day on clifton beach, or do i need 2 days?
ok guys i have added one more day for the different beaches. I would like to know which beach would be ok to stroll on clifton (4 th?) because that website says it is not that appropriate..
and how do iget to camps bay and clifton if parking is a problem? the shuttles and taxis are reliable and feasable>? I dont wanna be stressed and climb stairs. What is the best way to visit the beaches from our hotels?
I would probably add Llandudno beach by car later...my plan is to stay 3 nights somwhere near the table moutain and V &A, 1 night on bloughberg beach and 1 night near camps bay..what you think? (i have total 5 nights now)
Answer
Like Trent says, Camps Bay and Clifton are not for relaxing. If you like climbing stairs, then do all 4 Clifton Beaches. There are some lovely and interesting houses built on the slopes. The Camps Bay Beach is viewable from the road while driving. If you really want to sun bathe, then there are other more peaceful beaches.

But, by all means, take a stroll along Camps Bay Beach and one of the Clifton Beaches, but parking is a problem. It might be best to take the mini-bus shuttle from Victoria Road. If there is enough sand and the tide is low, it is possible to walk from Clifton First Beach right through to Fourth Beach or vice versa.
Blouwberg has some lovely views of Table Mountain, but the water is cold. Check the weather before you go, as it can be very windy.
A tip: Plan an alternate day for Table Mountain. Sometimes the weather is disappointingly bad (low cloud or even rain) and then one will be happy for a "second chance".
Hope you have a marvellous stay.
*Edit*
Camps Bay and Clifton could be done together in one afternoon. They are quite close to each other. And neither all 4 Clifton Beaches nor Camps Bay Beach are very long. If you started at say 14.00 (much too hot for the sun, though. Take sunscreen and protective clothing)) at Clifton, walked along for an hour (if the tide is low), sunbathed for another hour, then you would still have time for a 10 - 20 minute drive to Camps Bay, depending on the traffic, and spend some time there.
This way, you can plan half a day for Clifton and Camps Bay Beaches, and the other half a day at Blouberg.

Where are FREE camping area's in Kentucky?
Katie U
My husband and I are looking for a quite get away for a weekend and would like to go camping but would rather not have to fork out any cash for it and are curious if anyone knows of any free camping, RV areas. We live in the Lexington area, so anything close to that area would be nice too!
Answer
Look up any national forest in your area. These have what is called dispersed camping. These are sites that are along back-country forest roads that you can pull into and camp. Sometimes these are marked as yellow post sites and your local ranger will have the specifics of where those are. Sometimes the yellow post site may have a fire ring and picnic table but that would be all it would have, no water or bathrooms. There may be an access fee of $5 per day or $30 a year for parking it's called the adventure pass.

Yahoo groups has a forum called "Boon-docking" the folks in this group share info about camping for free or low cost throughout the USA.
