Chapman's Peak
Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the most spectacular coastal
roads in South Africa, linking the seaside community of Hout Bay to
the Noordhoek Valley along the Atlantic Coast, with breathtaking
views from along the narrow, winding road blasted into the cliffs.
Constructed in 1915, the six-mile (9km) route took about seven
years to complete and was built as a shorter, alternative route
between Cape Town central and the South Peninsula. Many visitors
use this scenic route to reach Cape Point Nature Reserve situated
at the tip of the Peninsula.
Information & Facts
Admission
Chapman's Peak Drive is operated as a toll-road. Light

Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
Opening Times
Open 24 hours; the road closes occasionally due to
heavy rainfall, or rockfalls
