More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out at the V&A Waterfront as the city softens; the Atlantic breeze already tugs at your jacket, promising a horizon that will glow and then slip away. The vehicle picks its way along the Atlantic Seaboard past Clifton and Camps Bay, windows framing cliffs and a restless ocean. At Signal Hill you climb a short, paved approach to a ridgeline where the sun slides down the sea like a deliberate performance — and the bottle of chilled sparkling wine is ready to mark the finish.
