Discover Granger Bay

A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.

The Shimansky Diamond Experience and Jewellery Showroom offer a unique activity for local and international guests.

It is conveniently situated in the Clock Tower Precinct at Cape Town's famous V&A Waterfront (the most popular tourist attraction in South Africa), set against the iconic backdrop of Table Mountain. Take a journey through time dating back 3.3 billion years and discover how diamonds are formed from mine to finger, followed by a private jewellery viewing and explore iconic Shimansky designs.

Diamond cutting and polishing, jewellery manufacturing, a wine and coffee bar serving the best of our local wines and flat whites, all combined to make this a "must" on your list of places to visit in Cape Town.
