If you're not familiar with the area, this photo of a house in Sea Point could fool you into believing that Sea Point is a small, antiquated fishing village. Not so, of course. Sea Point is actually a sprawling coastal suburb filled with tall blocks of flats, a number of hotels and guesthouses, and plenty of busy restaurants.

In fact, Wikipedia indicates that Sea Point is the most densely populated suburb in Cape Town - and I can well believe that.
