The City of Cape Town’s Coastal Management branch has announced that the eastern parking area in front of the Muizenberg Civic Centre is now open to the public.
While some minor works are still underway, the parking facility is ready for use, making access to the beachfront easier for residents and visitors.
The reopening forms part of a broader refurbishment project along the Muizenberg beachfront. This multi-phase upgrade includes significant improvements to public amenities as well as the replacement of ageing seawalls.
Muizenberg beachfront upgrades on track
Alderman Eddie Andrews, the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, has happily welcomed the progress.
“We know how important the parking areas are at this very popular beachfront, and I’m delighted to let the public know that the eastern parking area in front of the Muizenberg Civic Centre, on the beachside, is open for use.” Alderman Andrews said.
“Visitors will enjoy the newly paved area and improvements, though soft landscaping and final touches are still to follow.” he added.
Work across the beachfront area has faced some delays due to heavy rain, but the project remains on track.
The first phase, which began in February 2025, focuses on the western side of Surfer’s Corner near the railway line, where an informal gravel lot is being upgraded into a formal parking area. That site remains closed for now.
The City has also confirmed that the St James Walkway is expected to reopen in time for the festive season, adding another attraction for holidaymakers.
