ROUTE #2
Hout Bay – View of Noordhoek Beach loop from Cape Town Station
100 km / 2000m
One of Cape Town's most spectacular coastal rides, taking you from the city towards the wild beauty of the Cape Peninsula. The route heads south through Hout Bay, with the Atlantic on one side and the rugged slopes of the mountains rising dramatically on the other.
Then comes the legendary Chapman's Peak Drive — an unforgettable stretch of road carved into sheer cliffs, with breathtaking views opening up around every bend. Far below, the deep blue ocean crashes against the rocky shoreline, while the immense sweep of Noordhoek Beach stretches out ahead.
From there, the scenery changes again as you ride through the open landscapes of the southern peninsula, surrounded by fynbos-covered hills and endless ocean horizons. Expect spectacular viewpoints, exhilarating descents and some of the most photogenic roads anywhere in South Africa. A proper Cape Town classic, and a ride that is every bit as spectacular as it looks.
