A brisk Atlantic wind meets the windshield as you peel away from Cape Town and follow the ocean's edge toward the South Western tip of Africa. Chapman’s Peak carves the first act: a 9‑km coastal road with cliffside viewpoints that make the sea feel like it’s daring you to look away. Hout Bay slips into view, then the road drops into fynbos and granite as you enter Table Mountain National Park toward Cape Point.
