Chapman's Peak Drive — Cape Town to Noordhoek.
One of the world's great coastal roads. From the city bowl along the Atlantic seaboard to Hout Bay, then onto Chapman's Peak Drive — 9km of tarmac blasted into a near-vertical cliff, with 114 curves and the ocean falling away beside you. Short, unforgettable and endlessly photogenic.
