Layer for variable weather
Bring a windproof outer layer and a light mid-layer — mountain summits and seaside spots can differ by 10–15°C in a day.
Protect from the sun
Sunscreen and a brimmed hat are important even on breezy days; UV is strong on the mountain and at the beach.
Respect wildlife viewing rules
Stay on boardwalks and observation platforms at Boulders Beach to avoid disturbing penguins and nesting areas.
Comfortable footwear
Choose shoes with good grip for short rocky sections on the mountain and sandier paths near the shore.
Windproof jacket
Shields against sudden gusts on Table Mountain and along Chapman's Peak.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide grip on rocky boardwalks and uneven viewpoints.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential in sun-exposed mountain and beach stops; guides can refill.
