Constantia Nek Jeep Track
Constantia Nek Jeep TrackOn an early sunny morning - the earlier the better - walking up here is one of the great joys of living in Cape Town. Truly spectacular and relatively easy to get up here from Constantia Nek.
Unless you're a surfer, come here when the wind isn't blowing...and let this beach blow your mind! Vast, breathtaking and waves aplenty. One of my Top 3 Beaches of The World. Big call.

Long, gentle drive out of town and a beautiful place to go for a walk on the beach. This name is quite literal, come at sunrise and a quiet mist hugs the hills. Coffee in Simon's Town...sorted.

You have to! You've come all this way down, might as well look over the edge.
You'll be so glad you did.

On its day a sublime wave for surfing - and you can walk for miles and hardly see anyone, just long flat stretches of beach and a pounding sea.

It may be the easiest route to hike up Table Mountain - but don't be deceived, you'll need to be relatively fit.

A must-see. It’s a gorgeous as well as informative outing spent admiring the local flora at the foot of Devil’s Peak. There’s an aerial walkway that offers a fresh perspective on the gardens, a restaurant, and, in summer, weekly live music that’s a real sunshine-y, picnic-y, lazy-hazy-day treat.

You haven't fully experienced Cape Town until you've driven the iconic Chapman's Peak. Pull over at the main viewpoint looking across Hout Bay, climb down the rocks to the little amphitheater...

A morning jog or evening walk is highly recommended, and very popular among locals. Sunsets often are spectacular. Restaurants & Bars just over the road.

Muizenberg has such a rich history, especially in South African surf culture. Gentle rolling waves make it perfect for beginners and great fun for longboarders. Post-surf pull into Knead bakery...

The oldest operating lighthouse in South Africa. You can walk to it through the Green Point Park and then enjoy the Promenade. Also offers great views when looking down the Atlantic coast.

Home to a Royal Naval Base that now belongs to the South African government. A quaint part of the peninsula, worth a stop on the way to Cape Point.

Head up Wale Street into the neighbourhood that’s home to brightly coloured houses, steep cobbled streets and the delicious flavours of Cape Malay cooking. Stop in at the Bo-Kaap Museum, or take a cooking tour.
