St George's Street

About St George's Street

St George's Street is the main thoroughfare of Simon’s Town, often referred to as the "Historical Mile" because it contains 21 buildings over 150 years old. It serves as the town's cultural and commercial heart, blending a deep maritime legacy with modern shops and cafes. The "Historical Mile" perfectly balances maritime heritage with a relaxed seaside atmosphere. Walking down this stretch feels like stepping back in time, with beautifully preserved colonial architecture housing quirky spots like the Warrior Toy Museum and the legendary Just Nuisance statue at Jubilee Square. Whether you’re exploring the rich naval history at the local museums or ducking into a cozy cafe for a pastry, the street offers a charming, walkable experience that feels far more intimate and authentic than the busier tourist hubs of Cape Town.
