Shoreline Café is an ideal family alternative for dinner. Overlooking the yacht marina, this self-service deli lets you pick and choose as per your taste. It’s one of the best value-for-money dining options at the V&A Waterfront and what can be better than enjoying delectable provisions while overlooking the water, majestic Table Mountain towering above you?

Enjoy the sites and sounds at the Aquarium this festive season. There’s plenty of fun things on offer here, including the feeding of our fish and puppet shows for kids. Don’t forget to buy your tickets online to avoid the mad rush (and save some money in the process).
