Three Anchor Bay is part of Cape Town, South Africa sitting along the Atlantic Ocean seaboard. As part of Cape Town, the second largest and southernmost city in South Africa, it is one finish point of the Robben Island swim.

Cape Town is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in world. With the Table Mountain providing a backdrop to the city and mountains, beaches and wineries lining the landscape, Capetonians are so proud of their home. The friendliness and diversity of the Capetonians themselves accounts for much of the attraction of the city. A former major trading port, Cape Town has become a cultural melting pot of British, Dutch, French & German settlers and the local Khoisan and Bantu tribes.
