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".
