Between two mountainous flanks, reaching away from the docks, through the intense city centre and up the mountain is the City Bowl (made up of the Upper and Lower city centres and the Waterfront), where lively areas, such as Long Street, the Bo-Kaap and Gardens rub shoulders with the serious new wealth of Tamboerskloof and Oranjezicht. Straggling south from the centre along the eastern slope of the mountain, the predominantly white southern suburbs become progressively more affluent as you move from arty Observatory through the comfortably middle-class districts of Rondebosch and Newlands, culminating with the Constantia wine estates. Along the coastal belt, the Atlantic seaboard is drier and sunnier, with the wealthiest areas like Clifton and Camps Bay clinging to the mountainside above the sea, white sands and rocky beaches. The False Bay coast is wetter and greener; the sea here is usually several degrees warmer than the western peninsula, making Muizenberg, Fish Hoek and Boulders Beach in Simon's Town the most popular bathing beaches in Cape Town. Curling northeast around Table Bay, the northern suburbs , taking in Parow, Milnerton and Bloubergstrand are exceptionally dull, with a traditional Afrikaans flavour. South of these, and extending seemingly endlessly along the N2 into the interior, the coloured Cape Flats townships jostle with the desolate, litter-strewn African ghettos of Nyanga, Langa and Guguletu, which relentlessly overflow into kilometre after kilometre of iron, wood and cardboard shantytowns.
