Sea Point (Afrikaans: Seepunt) is an affluent and densely populated suburb of Cape Town, situated in the Western Cape, between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean, a few kilometres to the west of Cape Town's Central Business District (CBD). Moving from Sea Point to the CBD, one passes first through the small suburb of Three Anchor Bay, then Green Point. Seaward from Green Point is the area known as Mouille Point (pronounced MOO-lee), where the local lighthouse is situated. It borders to the southwest the suburb of Bantry Bay. It is known for its large Jewish population, synagogues, and kosher food options.

Sea Point's positioning along the Cape Town coastline of the Atlantic Seaboard - from the Promenade to it's wide variety of restaurants, has led to this neighbourhood being named as one of the most popular places in Cape Town to live in^[2][3] or invest in^[4], with average property prices well above the median for the City^[5][6][7]. In addition, Sea Point serves as a popular destination amongst tourists and visitors, being named by Time Out magazine as "one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world" in 2022 and 2023^[8][9].

Sea Point forms part of Ward 54 in The City Of Cape Town, and is represented by Democratic Alliance councillor Nicola Jowell.^[10]

The ratepayers, residents and local businesses in the area are represented by the Sea Point, Fresnaye & Bantry Bay Ratepayers and Residents Association (SFB), a volunteer-led organization financed by donations and memberships^[11]. The SFB's mandate includes defending the heritage of the area^[12][13], construction applications^[14][15], providing added security and cleansing above what is provided by the City and State^[16][17][18], and communications with residents and ratepayers, as well as on behalf of these parties with stakeholders such as the City of Cape Town^[19][20][21].
