The City of Cape Town has announced that the eight iconic beach huts on Muizenberg Beach in Cape Town will be replaced with new huts that replicate the original design, colours, and patterns. Due to the upcoming promenade upgrade, the existing huts—currently situated near the Waves for Change and Shark Spotters buildings—must be removed, as the new promenade will be positioned approximately two meters further inland. This setback is necessary to address climate change-related challenges such as rising sea levels and storm surges while ensuring that the new seawall does not reduce the width of the beach.
Relocating the existing huts is not a viable option, as dismantling, storing, and reconstructing them would likely result in damage. Instead, the replacement huts will be installed at the central plaza, where they will also serve as a wind shelter for the central shower area.
