South Africa Chapman’s Peak Drive

Chapman’s Peak Drive is one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world, winding dramatically along the cliffs between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. From above, the contrast between the road, sea, and rock formations is simply breathtaking.

Use a drone to highlight the dramatic curves and ocean backdrop. Watch for wind gusts and follow road traffic and drone safety rules.

Chapman’s Peak Drive is a toll road easily accessible from Cape Town (about 30 minutes by car). There are multiple lookout points and safe pull-off zones to enjoy the views or fly your drone. A small toll is charged when entering from the Hout Bay side. The road may close during high winds or rockfall risks—always check the official website before visiting.
