Chapman's Peak Drive

If for some reason the pictures an't enough, here are some statistics for you:

9 kilometers of rocky coastal roadways connecting Hout Bay to Noordhoek; 114 curves with views of the crashing Atlantic ocean on one side and majestic mountains on the other; and some vantage points reaching 593 meters high allowing for picture perfect views.

"Chappies," as it is affectionately known by locals, is regarded as one of the most scenic drives in the world and is a must-do activity when visiting Cape Town. Oh and if any of this looks familiar thats because Chapman's Peak Drive is very popular with car commercials.

(This portion of the M6 is a toll road so make sure to have some cash handy. Its no more than 40 Rand.)
