What makes a good sunset in Cape Town?

Cape Town has one of the most stacked sunset setups of any city in the world: Table Mountain as backdrop, two oceans nearby, and Signal Hill facing straight west over the Atlantic. The summer dry season (November through March) brings consistently clear skies and long golden hours. Signal Hill and Lion's Head are the go-to vantage points for watching the sun drop into the Atlantic with the city below. Boulders Beach and Camps Bay give you beach-level ocean shots. The cold Benguela Current keeps marine layer potential high, so a good GoldCast score matters before you make the drive.
