This little town on the west coast, 25km/16mi north of Cape Town, takes its name ("Blue Hill Beach") from a 330m/1,080ft high hill which has a bluish tinge when seen from the sea.
In 1806 British forces landed near here and captured the settlement after tough resistance by the Dutch defenders. Later Bloubergstrand developed into an important fishing center. It is now a favored - and expensive - residential suburb of Cape Town.
