This suburb in Cape Town is one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods!

Global culture, entertainment and events magazine Time Out recently published the results of its annual Time Out Index. As part of the global survey, Time Out asked some 20,000 city-dwellers about the coolest spots in their city right now. And for the fifth year running, these views got combined with expert input from Time Out's global network of local editors and writers, to compile the fifth annual ranking of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods.

According to the 2022 edition of the Time Out Index, Sea Point in Cape Town, South Africa, is one of the 51 coolest neighbourhoods in the world. Ranked 38th, Cape Town's cool beachfront face is an oceanside ’burb heaving with quirky local businesses, and with enviable transport links to nearby beaches like Clifton and Camps Bay. Home to a mix of long-term families, young professionals, creative types and immigrant communities, Sea Point is known throughout Cape Town for the spine-tingling sunset views on its seven-mile Beach Road promenade, and for Regent Street: the neighbourhood’s main road and a hub of hot hotels and lip-smackingly diverse food options.
