Viewpoints in Cape Town

Cape Point is a dramatic rocky headland at the south-western tip of the Cape Peninsula, within the Table Mountain National Park. Its towering sea cliffs and historic lighthouse offer breathtaking views where the Atlantic meets False Bay.

Lion's Head is a distinctive peak between Table Mountain and Signal Hill, named for its lion-like profile when viewed from the north. The summit hike rewards with unobstructed 360-degree views of Cape Town, the Atlantic coastline, and the mountain amphitheatre.

Signal Hill is a flat-topped hill adjacent to Lion's Head, rising 350 metres above sea level. Easily accessible by car, it offers panoramic sunset views over the Atlantic Seaboard, Robben Island, and Table Bay harbour without any hiking required.

Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. The 9-kilometre toll road between Hout Bay and Noordhoek hugs the near-vertical face of Chapman's Peak, with 114 curves carved into the cliff face 593 metres above the Atlantic.
