Where to take the music with you this summer in Cape Town

With summer finally back in Cape Town, it's time for you to get out there and enjoy life to the fullest.

Music plays a big role when it comes to enjoying life, with your favourite songs putting you in the right mood and inspiring you to get out there and experience the world and all that life has to offer.

But what if you could take the music with you wherever you go? Well, you can! Here's how you can take the music with you this summer in Cape Town...

The beach

It is officially beach season in Cape Town! From Blue Flag beauties to the best surf in town, you know you are in for a treat with a trip to the top Cape Town beaches this summer. And what better way to have the best time on the beach than by taking the music with you? Now, we are not saying you should be blasting your music on the beach and annoying your fellow beachgoers in the process, but setting the mood with chilled tunes at an acceptable level is the perfect way to chillax and make the most of your beach adventure.

Picnics

With Cape Town home to such incredible natural beauty, we are spoiled for choice with picnic options right around the peninsula. From Chapman's Peak and stunning beaches to promenades and forests at the foot of the Table Mountain National Park, summer picnics just hit different. Chilled music played through a portable speaker sets the mood for you, your family, and your friends to unwind over some good food and good vibes. Again, please don't annoy your fellow picnickers - set the volume to ensure everyone can enjoy themselves.

On your summer stroll

Getting out into green spaces is not only good for your physical health (especially after the Festive Season indulgence), but it's also a great way to clear your mind after a long, hard year of work. Cape Town is home to many greenbelts and naturally stunning spaces for you to explore, so grab your favourite pair of headphones and hit the trails with the sounds of your favourite artists guiding you along the route.

To the braai

Nou gaan ons braai, Cape Town. The sun's out, so it's time to invite your family and friends and light that fire. You deserve it. A braai is an activity where connections are solidified and your choice of music plays a role in turning a good braai into a great braai. It's just as important as ensuring the drinks are cold and the meat does not burn. We want to solidify connections, not destroy them, remember.

Time Out Tip: Unlike when out in public, at the braai, you can go wild with your speaker, so let the music set the tone.

Anywhere, really...

That's the beauty of portable speakers - you have the freedom to take them with you wherever the adventure takes you this summer (just don't forget to charge them). You can check out the full range of Monster Audio products here - they make great Christmas gifts, just saying...
