Chapman’s Peak drive in Cape Town, South Africa is considered one of the best coastal drives in the world. With the mountains on one side and the Atlantic ocean on the other, this short 5.5-mile scenic drive is a must-do when visiting Cape Town in South Africa. Combine it with a road trip to Cape Peninsula and it makes for a perfect day trip out of Cape Town and a scenic drive in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapman’s Peak drive in Cape Town or Chappies as it is called by locals was everything it claims to be \u2015 a stunning drive through coastal villages, dramatic mountains, beautiful beaches, a walk through a nature reserve to the tip of the African continent. The Cape Peninsula, with the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, is the most southwestern tip of the African continent. Make sure to allow for some time to see the African Penguins waddling, swimming and just hanging out on the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about travel is not just the cool places, scenic drives, beautiful destinations, and waking up to new sounds, tasting different foods and hotel room views, its the friendships you make along the way. We landed in Cape Town not knowing a single soul and left making two lifelong friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/span>Cape Town to Cape Peninsula Day trip<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Our guide and friend, Luigi from StarTravel<\/a> met us at the lobby at our Cape Town Hotel<\/a> and we left early morning for our Cape Town to Cape Peninsula Day Trip in his car. We stopped at a couple of beaches before we got to the scenic Chapman’s peak drive portion. One of the stops along the way was at Muizenberg Beach<\/a>, where we met Monika from The Flipflop Tree for a quick photoshoot. After lunch at Kalkbay, we drove to Cape Peninsula. Here is our day trip to Cape Peninsula and Chapman’s peak drive map. Some towns worth exploring along the way are Clifton, Hout Bay, Muizenberg and Kalk Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
