THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA, THERE’S A VIBE – AND YOU’LL FEEL IT

If you’re visiting Cape Town, you’ll know when you’ve reached the city’s Southern Peninsula. Suddenly the pace changes and the air is charged with a mix of ocean and wild indigenous flora. There’s a vibe – and you’ll feel it. Bordered by three pieces of spectacular coastline, each boasting their own scenic highlights, the Southern Peninsula hosts a number of seaside villages and suburbs a little further from the madding crowd.

Things you’ll (really) love to do:

Take a scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak.
Horse ride on one of the world’s longest most spectacular beaches in Noordhoek.
Don’t miss the Noordhoek Farm Village for breakfast or live music!
Visit the Cape Point Vineyard’s Thursday night market and feel like a local.
