What is 50+ Gay Dating

De Waterkant and Cafe Manhattan

De Waterkant is the city's gay quarter, and Cafe Manhattan, open there since 1994, is described as the oldest queer bar in Africa. It serves proper meals, so lunch there is a relaxed first date where you can talk without shouting over music. Cape Town Pride fills February, ending with a Mardi Gras in Green Point.

Triangle Project, which grew out of a group of gay men responding to HIV, runs a helpline and community work from Salt River.

What is 50+ Gay Dating

Local, Not on Holiday

Cape Town draws plenty of visitors, so make it clear in your profile that you live here, and which suburb. Search near home first, Observatory, Sea Point or Muizenberg perhaps. A sundowner walk along the Sea Point promenade is a classic first date, and nobody minds if it ends at a cafe.

Make a profile and browse at no cost. Premium lets you send messages. Join free in the Mother City.
