Chapman's Peak Drive: The World's Best Commute

Chappies, as it's affectionately known, is often voted one of the most scenic marine drives in the world. Carved out of the rock face, it connects Hout Bay to Noordhoek.

Why it's a 2025 Must-Do

There are numerous picnic spots along the way. Stop at one to watch the sunset over the Atlantic. It's breathtaking.

Top Tip: Drive Chappies at sunset.

Sweeten the Experience

Nothing pairs better with a Cape Town adventure than a treat from Sweet As Pie.

A scenic drive deserves a scenic dessert (our tarts are beautiful).
