Chapman's Peak Drive is an exhilarating 10 km scenic drive stretching from Hout Bay to Noordhoek on a road literally carved into the side of the mountain. It offers spectacular ocean cliff views of Hout Bay and The Sentinel, with a couple of lookout points along the way. It is the preferred way to travel down the peninsula, but occasional falling rocks cause temporary closures so you may want to call to check conditions before you head out.
