Kalk Bay (Afrikaans: Kalkbaai) is a fishing village on the coast of False Bay, South Africa and is now a suburb of greater Cape Town. It lies between the ocean and sharply rising mountainous heights that are buttressed by crags of grey Table Mountain Sandstone. The railway from Cape Town to Simon's Town passes through Kalk Bay and in some places the line is only metres from the water's edge. In 2018 Forbes Magazine voted the neighborhood one of the "coolest in the world".

  • Kalk Bay (auch: Kalkbay; afrikaans: Kalkbaai) ist ein Fischerdorf an der False Bay und ein Stadtteil der City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality in der südafrikanischen Provinz Westkap. 2011 hatte er 700 Einwohner. Seinen Namen erhielt das Dorf, weil hier im 18. Jahrhundert in Brennöfen Branntkalk hergestellt wurde, der ein wichtiger Grundstoff für den Häuserbau im Kapgebiet war. Man benutzte den Branntkalk insbesondere im Bo-Kaap, einem überwiegend von Muslimen bewohnten Viertel Kapstadts, um damit die Häuser zu verputzen. Der Kalk wurde aus Muschelschalen gewonnen, die in großen Mengen am Strand zu finden waren. (de)

  • Kalk Bay (Kalkbaai in afrikaans) è un villaggio di pescatori affaciato sulla False Bay in Sudafrica. Posizionato tra i centri abitati di Fish Hoek a sudovest di St James a nordest, oggi Kalk Bay costituisce a tutti gli effetti un sobborgo della vasta Città del Capo, rientrando nei confini della municipalità metropolitana di quest'ultima. La linea ferroviaria che collega Città del Capo a Simon's Town attraversa questa località sin dal 1883. In certi tratti, i binari non passano che a pochi metri dall'oceano. (it)
