South Africa Hout Bay, Cape Town
A beautiful fishing village sandwiched between the bay and the surrounding mountains became an upmarket residential area.
Photography Tips
Sunrise and sunset are always best to capture the varying light and cloud formations.
Travel Information
Best to view from Chapmans Peak drive, some parts are easily accessible, some parts you have to pay a toll fee. The drive itself winds along the mountain and sea and is spectacular in itself. Lots of picnic spots and lookout points along the drive. Bring some bubbly and a picnic basket to enjoy the ambience and photograph the everchanging view. Need your mode of transport. Around 30 min drive from Cape Town city centre....a bit longer as you will be stopping constantly along the mountain or coastal route to get there.
