Kalk Bay , fishing village

Kalk Bay is a fishing village and suburb of Cape Town. It lies on the east coast of False Bay. Much of the town is built on the slopes of mountains which border the sea, with peaks of Table Mountain Sandstone forming valleys.
This quaint and colourful sea-side fishing village is only 30 minutes drive from Cape Town city centre, and it is hard to imagine that you are in one of South Africa’s largest cities when visiting Kalk Bay. Kalk in this way means “Chalk”, and that is because all the mussel shells used to be farmed here to make chalk. Today this place is most famous for boutique antique shops, a great local pub that’s also a train station, and the most famous fish and chip shop in the city.
