FORBES have just ranked KALK BAY in Cape Town for being the coolest neighborhood in the WORLD

[@lesliedeneault4633]

Once again you take me back to my childhood, swimming at Kalkbay beach, being on the jetty, buying fresh fish, watch the fisherman gut and clean the fish, watch the seals bopping and swimming in the waves, thank you for these beautiful memories. Loved it as always.

[@Waldemarvonanhalt]

Would be nice if there were some more parking in Kalk Bay. At least the work on main road is done. It started when I finished primary school and they finished when I was done with university! Lol

[@Travelvids]

Hahaha I know that feeling. Regarding the parking, i hear what you saying, but it also restricts an overflow. As it is the place gets to busy, imagine havining EVEN more people there. Now people have to park at St James and Muizies to walk there... which is also a nice thing.

[@josemariecambri6159]

when i visited this place, it was emotional for me because i learned that filipino refugees from the spanish regime settled here permanently. I flew to a very distant and totally unknown country for the first time and ending up to this wonderful neighborhood where to my surprise has filipino roots. I need to visit again.

Gotta love the South African accents !

Which one Dean or Darren or everyone in the video?

Love your videos guys, fantastically shot, brilliant cinematography and great content. However, I just wish that you would pick slightly less irritating music to go along with the visuals, or at least just dial the volume way down. Looking forward to your next exploration!

Thanks For the input Craig it was a little high at the end. Seems to fluctuate a lot between different devices and platforms we are finding. We can use copyrighted music as it is blocked on most mobile devices. Always looking for up and coming music artists to work with and give them a massive shout out.

Just my 2c being a local of Kalk Bay (Fisherman Flats). It is not only the main road that is Kalk bay, its heritage stems from the Fisherman Flats (Yellow flats). Take a walk through the area to get a feel of the community www.kalk-bay.co.za

[@joeferreira657]

Great

[@arkorenke]

Can someone say Kalk Bay one more time please? Kalk bay is lovely, but this is more a "shop until you're numb" video and as mentioned in the end, the area has so much more to offer, so much more that makes it ACTUALLY interesting, than little tourist type shops.

[@vaughanlancellas495]

Brilliant video, but you didn't mention Kalkies, the best, and I mean the best fish and chips in the world, by far.

[@fretufretu6849]

great video. thanks. just one question: are there no black people in Kalk Bay? (it seems, with regard to the interviews)

[@Travelvids]

There certainly are black people in Kalk Bay... but not many. It is a predominantly white neighbourhood. As a long lasting result of apartheid, there is a still a sort of "natural segregation" that happens in South Africa. It's just the way it is.... like in most parts of the world... it takes many generations to see things like this change.... if you look at our long street video you will see how a once White dominated city has become a great melting pot of all colours and cultures... other areas (more distant from the city) are less inclined to change as quickly

[@fretufretu6849]

ok i see. yes, very unfortunately "it takes many generations to see things like this change....". thanks for the info! will soon travel to SA. would like to stay close to the beach, but not to far away from CT center. i assume you would suggest Kalk Bay? or maybe Muizenberg? Simon's Town seems also great, but to far from city center...

[@Travelvids]

Cape Town is really so small you can stay anywhere.... but staying in the city is great... For Beach, Muizenberg/Kalk Bay etc is great because the water is warmer.... But Blaauwberg side and the Atlantic Seaboard (Camps Bay, Seapoint) is nice too... Safe travels!!!

[@fretufretu6849]

Ok great, thank you for the travel advice!

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

@@fretufretu6849 don't worry, there are plenty of places that used to be clean and safe, which have been taken over, if that's what you want to see. Give it a few years and Kalk Bay could be the same.

[@shottabwoi3985]

Wow! How I dont see ANY of my ORIGINAL melanated members walkyn round their land. I WONDER WHY?!?!🤔🤔🤔

[@realsebsworld3004]

South Africa is a country built under rule and divide so there is still more time and it will take time for blacks and other races to be seen around those towns and the Whites likes to be alone I don't know why

[@LeonVanDyk]

That's because there were no melanated original members in that tiny area. How small an area can one zoom down to escape bitter remarks like yours?

[@Tibilolo]

so no black people found to interview i guess? how is this the coolest neighbourhood? criteria anyone? well done Kalkbay in 2017...lol

[@subwaysurfer5378]

I will say it again Cape Town may be among one of the best cities in the world. But not the best city in the world. The factors to make it the best are. On a scale of one to ten. With one being terrible and ten being excellent. Friendly people:7-8 Crime rate: 3-4 Infrastructure : 5-6 Climate or good weather: 6-7 Things to do: 7-8 Governance : 5-6 I feel like Cape Tonians overrate their own city. They make it look like it's fun and games. But it's not the problems it faces are real. They are not fake news media. So as a city it's not the best in the world.

[@Travelvids]

Well said
