Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most scenic coastal routes in the world, winds its way along the rugged cliffs of the Cape Peninsula, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding mountains. The drive stretches for about nine kilometers between Hout Bay and Noordhoek, with the road hugging the steep cliffs and offering spectacular vistas at every turn. Built in the early 20th century, the road is a marvel of engineering, cutting through towering cliffs and providing a thrilling experience for drivers and passengers alike.

Along the route, there are several viewpoints where visitors can stop and take in panoramic views of the coastline, including the famous Chapman’s Peak, a striking mountain peak that rises dramatically above the ocean. The drive is also home to diverse flora and fauna, making it a favorite for both sightseeing and nature lovers. Chapman’s Peak Drive is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most iconic and picturesque routes. I took the route all the way from Hout Bay to Noordhoek and it was definitely worth the road toll.
