Information AboutStrand, Cape Town |
|
It has great views of the Cape Peninsula and fine beaches. During the summer tourists from inland - mainly Johannesburg - flock to the area and this tourism is the principal source of local income. This has been the case since at least 1950. Even in those days the town was popular with visitors from the north and was home to quite a few retired veterans of the Boer War. There is a train service from The Strand to the central district of Cape Town. The great coastal road that makes its way up the eastern seaboard of the Cape rises into the coastal ranges from near The Strand. strand |
