#HighburyHearsYou – we at Cape Town Etc are passionate about getting local restaurants back and booming in business. As part of our #HighburyHearsYou initiative, we’re dishing out the deets on some incredible restaurants in and around town.
If you’re looking for incredible spots to enjoy drinks and be mesmerised by the sunset, but the thought of trekking to Camps Bay sounds more like a schlep, we’ve got you covered. Blouberg has some incredible restaurants and bars that are not too far from the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Here are a few of the best places to enjoy sundowners in Blouberg.
The Lighthouse:

The Lighthouse is a favourite amongst Blouberg locals, although no one ever says: “let’s head to the Lighthouse.” Instead, it’s affectionately called Blue Peter, after the hotel that this bustling restaurant and bar is attached to. Located a few metres away from the ocean, the fish is fresh, and the beer is cold. While they do serve incredible seafood dishes, it’s their famous pizza that you have to try. Sit back, relax and sip your drink on the lush lawn as enjoy another epic Cape Town sunset.
