Détails

Accès

Park Island is located inside the Zandvlei Estuary, on the southern outskirts of Cape Town. It sits on the eastern side of the estuary near Marina da Gama. The entrance is at the small gate at the end of Park Island Way, just off Prince George Drive. You park in the residential streets right next to the entrance gate. Press P on the map for directions.

Once you pass through the gate, you’re on a quiet loop of paths that circle the island and look out over the estuary. The reserve typically opens in the morning and closes around sunset, and the gate is locked after hours.
