Why go
The road is cut into Chapman’s Peak’s steep ocean-facing flank, making the engineering part of the view. Travelling between Hout Bay and Noordhoek reveals the coast from several angles rather than from one lookout. It is a route to allow time for, rather than a shortcut across the peninsula.
What to look for
- The road traces a steep ocean-facing slope.
- Atlantic views shift with each bend.
- Hout Bay and Noordhoek frame opposite ends of the drive.
Useful to know
- Check the road operator’s current access and conditions before setting out; rockfall and weather can affect the route.
- Pair the drive with Hout Bay or Noordhoek, allowing time to stop where it is safe to do so.
