History: The development and occupation of the steep and rocky inaccessible western coast of the Cape Peninsula took place later and more slowly than the exploitation of the fertile areas of Rondebosch and Wynberg. When, how ever, this development began, it threatened to destroy the attractions of the most spectacular parts of the coast. Because it is the task of the Commission to preserve natural beauty as well as historical relics, it proclaimed the area between Victoria Road and the sea, from Fourth Beach, Clifton, to Glen Beach, Camps Bay, as a natural monument. By doing so it has succeeded in saving an exceptionally scenic area adjoining thickly populated suburbs.
