As one of Cape Town’s self-proclaimed “most vibrant markets”, it’s safe to say that the Bay Harbour Market needs very little introduction. This Hout Bay institution has stood the test of time and more than that, it has continued to evolve and adapt to the times.
In true Cape Town style, this bustling market is a place where vibrancy and creativity meet. Housed in a real-life fish factory at the working harbour, this market is known and loved by people of all ages, genders, cultures and heritages.

Soak up the Fun Atmosphere
Cape Town’s markets are, by and large, known for their fun vibe and pleasant atmosphere. But what really sets the Bay Harbour Market apart is that it has everything from quirky mimes to township guitarists, stylish saxophone players and, of course, beautiful views on the outside too, where the fresh ocean air, punctuated by the shrill cry of gulls, and the distant Chapman’s Peak Drive loom.
By all accounts, it’s the quintessential Cape Town market that offers a unique setting, excellent local wares and stalls, delicious food and drinks and of course, a great market experience from start to finish.
