What a "tit" place!

Let’s face it, going away for the weekend these days is expensive! It’s petrol to get there, accommodation, food and entertainment for the family that ends up costing so much. However, a few weekends ago Cape Town presented yet another one of its jewels to me in the form of an affordable camping weekend. 

About two hours down the West Coast is a beautiful little place called Titties Bay. Funny name, I know, but it gets its name from a hill topped with a boulder that looks like a ... you guessed it! It is a nature reserve on the coast and offers campsites all along the beach.  R108 gets you a campsite for a night, which is cheap as it is not per person. The campsite I stayed at was clean, well-kept and had bathrooms.

There is so much to do. Free entertainment is offered through fishing, tanning, campfire stories, sand boarding, swimming  and observing nature. A walk to the lighthouse is also in order. Cape Town offers so many stunning camping destinations but I must say that Titties Bay has been my favourite so far! It really is a wonderful weekend away for the family or friends.

Beautiful views. 

Amazing campsite.

  1. Most of us would normally believe the word tit to represent something you dont like. But obviously its referred to as a great place. A slang for lekker i assume?
    Still have hopes of going down there, have been as far as Paternoster, and that was fantastic!

  2. The word "tit" is indeed a slang word which I think comes from joberg people! It means lekker or great.
