No Experience Required

The minivan peels away from Cape Town’s harbor before dawn, headlights cutting through sea mist as the coastline unspools. By midmorning you are perched on Chapman's Peak Drive, the road clinging to sandstone cliffs while the Atlantic hurls itself against the rocks below. The ocean feels intentional here, pulling line and attention toward Boulders Beach where a colony of African penguins shuffles between granite boulders and surf.
