Lonely Planet review for Chapman’s Peak Drive

Whether you choose to drive, pedal or walk along this 5km toll road linking Hout Bay with Noordhoek, take your time as it’s one of the most spectacular stretches of coastal road in the world. Unfortunately the road is plagued by dangerous rock slides, so it often gets closed during bad weather. There are a few places to stop to admire the view and it’s certainly worth taking the road at least one way en route to Cape Point. Perched on a rock near the Hout Bay end of the drive is a bronze leopard statue. It has been sitting there since 1963 and is a reminder of the wildlife that once roamed the area’s forests (which has also largely vanished).

    Top driving!

    hazell21 recommends this,

    This should be a lot higher up the list. This is one of the top things to do in SA and if you're into driving, definitely do it. Amazing views from the road and leads to everywhere you'd wanna go. Definitely worth doing
