Draw an imaginary line between Hout Bay and Muizenburg, and everything found below that line falls under the South Peninsula Region of Cape Town. It is an area most famous for the world’s most picturesque passes, Chapman’s Peak Drive. It is this pass along with the splattering of seaside villages and suburbs that make this region of Cape Town such a sought after tourist destination.

In Hout bay one can dine on the freshest fish and chips before heading over to Noordhoek, where a horse ride on the pristine beaches is the perfect way of spending a relaxing afternoon. A quick meal at one of the excellent farm stalls and restaurants, before some hiking and bird watching in Silvermine is a absolute must. In Kommetjie, take a guided tour in the mountains and observe the Chacma Baboons, before taking in the sights of the tallest cast-iron lighthouse in South Africa, the Slangkop Lighthouse, which had been in operation since 1919 and finally end at Cape Point, which at 249 meter is one of the world’s highest Sea Cliffs.

Follow the road around the peninsula and head into Simons Town. The third oldest settlement in the Cape, there are plenty of restaurants to enjoy as well as plenty of Victorian Architecture to behold. Visit Boulder Beach and spot the penguins or take a boat trip out to Seal Island, home to approximately 75000 cape fur seal and favored hunting ground of the Great White Shark. Fish Hoek is next on the drive, a town where no alcohol is sold. The Antique shops, Restaurants and Coffee Shops of Kalk Bay are a must while the views of the ocean from Boyes Drive are great from photography enthusiast. End up in Muizenburg, which is the beach is always busy and surfing is the sport of Choice.
