Chapman's Peak Drive voted one of the most scenic drives in the world is an icon for Hout Bay whether you are here to visit, live, work or play. It is not just a drive to experience but a way to explore and Discover Hout Bay and Noordhoek too, creating and providing a perfect economic link and hub for two suburbs. Whether it is via car, bike, motorcycle and even an e-bike, or if you're walking or hiking, watching it from other spots in Hout Bay or just seeing it rise up from the waters on one of the various ocean activities in the bay it is an experience not to be missed.
The scenes from various viewing points are so spectacular that no matter who you are you will be mesmerised. We have seen so many beautiful images and videos via social media and other online platforms that it even excites us too, although we get to work here. The latest video we featured in by African Travel Crew, shares a beautiful story about our people of Hout Bay and can be viewed on their YouTube channel here.
