The seaside suburbs of Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simon's Town, although traditionally family orientated are becoming increasingly trendy for nightlife beyond the city limits - although this is largely centred upon restaurants and many informal bars. The nightlife has an arty and laid back vibe and consists of good conversation, drinks and music.
