Cape Town update: What Muizenberg beach visitors can expect this festive season!

The City of Cape Town has made significant progress on the Muizenberg beachfront redevelopment, now ten months underway. While major work on the new seawall and upgraded public amenities continues, temporary measures will ensure smooth access for holiday visitors.

Festive-season arrangements (December 2025 – January 2026)
Construction pauses from 19 December 2025 to 12 January 2026, with several key facilities remaining open. Visitors will have temporary access to the St James Walkway via the western parking area. The temporary access will be compacted, but unpaved, and unfortunately not yet wheelchair friendly. A small section of the western parking area next to the railway line will be available to the public – visitors must note that this will be on gravel as the area is still under construction

The bathing boxes, central ablutions, showers, NGO buildings, and most of the promenade and beach will remain fully accessible. Only the active work zones - including the western corner of the beach - will stay fenced off for safety, although the surf remains open.

The eastern parking area upgrade is complete and fully operational. Temporary ablutions and the Shark Spotters office will be in place for the builders’ break and ready for work to resume in early January 2026.
