Walking along Victoria Road from Hout Bay to Camps Bay is well possible. It took me 2 and a half hours combining physical activity with enjoying spectacular views on the Cape shoreline.
It is a 13 km walk, but mind the elevation difference (some 160m). The section between Llandudno and Oude Kraal I found the most attractive. Motorized traffic on the road is annoying and sometimes there are cyclists passing by at high speed, but overall it is a very pleasant experience.

This scenic road stretches along the Atlantic coast for 8 kilometers from Sea Point to Hout Bay. Of course, there is no time to admire the views when you are driving, but there are places where you can park on the road. The most beautiful is of course the rocks of the 12 Apostles. It's worth stopping for them.

I have made it a hobby to drive solo along the great drives of the world like: Big Sur, The Appalachian Trail, The Trans Canada highway, Route 66, Route 62 in South Africa, The Three Cornices in France, The Khyber Pass in Kashmir, The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada, but this drive from Camps Bay along the coast road past Llandudno, through Hout Bay, over awesome Chapmans Peak, Noordhoek and through Scarborough, Misty Cliffs to Cape Point ts one of the most beautiful, majestic, rugged drives I have ever driven; with a constantly changing landscapes - miles of untouched beaches, white sand, giant trees, granite outcrops, fields of horses, flowers, mists, azure oceans - it truly is breathtaking - a must on anyone's bucket list and rivals the Canadian Rockies.

Really loved every minute of our drive on Victoria Road! The beaches, the mountains, the ocean, the smells, and just the scenery in general, just spectacular!

We recently moved from the UK to South Africa and settled in Hout Bay with a beautiful view of the beach, harbour and mountains. Chapman's Peak Drive now provides us with a route to do our weekly shopping at Sun Valley. Despite doing the journey regularly, it never fails to give us a warm feeling inside and a feeling of how lucky we are to enjoy this road right on our doorstep. Highlights are going round the bend that opens up the vista on Noordhoek beach going and the view to Hout Bay on the way back. Off to do it again right now!

Said to have been built on the breaking backs of Italian prisinors of war and with their toil and sweat this civil engineering construction marvel is breathtaking. With the Table Mountain sandstone and granite rock looming above soaring up the mountain and the precipitous drops down to the Atlantic shoreline below this drive is everything that one can dream of in terms of magnificence. Picnic spots dot the roadside from where one can marvel at glorious sunsets looking west over the frigid ocean. Marred in recent history by the erection of a toll road locals say that this was done through favors and nepotism towards a fortunate few. That aside the sheer stunningness of the place gives it a unique eeriness - and has made it the scene of movies and adverts - as well as murders and numerous suicides. This is one of those special places on the planet. A must see must do spot. Can't be missed. Be prepared by slow driving as runnerneckers are overwhelmed by the sheer stunning beauty that nature has created and which mankind developed.

The scenic route from Hout Bay to Sea point, over Suikerbossie, above Llandudno, Bakoven, Camps Bay, Clifton, Bantry Bay to Sea Point along Victoria drive is always an adventure. There are various viewing points with breath taking sea views.

No charge for viewing such beauty. The main route from Camps Bay to Hout Bay and follows the coast all the way. Lots of parking bays along the route to stop and take pictures. Have regularly seen dolphins and whales.

We had the delightful experience of travelling this route without a care in the world - we were sitting on the top of the red hop on, hop off bus. Not that there were any traffic problems or hassles on the road - but driving and navigating do serve to distract you from taking in the scenery. And what scenery there is to take in!! The M6 winds around the coastline, giving you tantalising views of sheltered coves and pristine beaches, and the string of restaurants are more than enticing to the tourist who want a view while they dine. There ae designated stops long the way, so do some exploring on foot without worrying about parking. It is a magnificent drive!
