Chapman's Peak Drive, South Africa

Chapman's Peak Drive, South Africa

Nine kilometres and 114 curves carved into a cliff face between Hout Bay and Noordhoek, the Atlantic hammering away below — Cape Town's celebrated toll road earns every rand. Drive it in the late afternoon towards the sunset, pull into the viewpoints with a picnic, then carry on to Boulders Beach for the penguins and Cape Point for the full peninsula loop. Check the road's status before setting out; high winds close it now and then.
