Chapman’s Peak Drive - Cape Town - South Africa Travel Guide
|
Chapman’s Peak Drive is seen as one of the most spectacular coastal roads in South Africa. You can reach this road by travelling from Cape Town towards Hout Bay. The road will lead directly to Chapman’s Peak. This Drive has breathtaking views of the ocean and the low-lying rock formations. It is steep and winds to the top of Chapman’s Peak until it drops to sea-level again in Noordhoek. Chapman’s Peak Drive was built 1915 - 1922 and is a bold masterpiece of road engineering and construction. After four years of renovations the road was re-opened to traffic in 2004. Rock falls had caused deaths and severe injuries resulting in the road being closed. Today, R20.00 is charged to get onto the road and this helps to fund the upgrade and allows for future maintenance. There are numerous parking areas along the road and scenic picnic spots with tremendous views. You can enjoy the unique fynbos vegetation when hiking.
