The most southern point of the Cape Town area and home of a big nature reserve. Further south, there is only the South Pole :). Go here for a magnificent view of the ocean, possible viewing of dolphins and wales in the sea and loads of wildlife (zebras, ostriches etc) in the park. A must see if you are in the area, the nature reserve has many nice places to spend time, e.g. beaches and nature view points.
The entrance to the Cape Point Natural Reserve is about 8km away. Tickets can be bought at the entrance.

Wordly known is the Cape of Good Hope. Dangerous for sailormen, the Cape of Good Hope was highlighted in many famous books, such as the "Flying Dutchmen". A picture here is very popular for Instagram and as a greeting to friends and family at home.
You can talk a walking tour from here to Cape Point, which has the more beautiful views and surroundings. You can ofc also take the car (ca. 2km).

The most beautiful drive I have ever seen. Maybe just comparable to the French Riviera. Car companies such as Mercedes, BMW and alike shoot their commercials here, because of the unbelievably beautiful surroundings. A must-see, which can be greatly combined with a trip to the Cape Point Vineyard or one of our favourite restaurants.

There are many walking tours around Scarborough. One leads up the Baskloof path towards Kleinplaas Dam. A swim is the ultimate pleasure on a hot day after your walk/hike. Please ask me for advice before going there, it is hard to find and there are some things to know beforehand.

Just 2.5km from Scarborough, Witsands Beach is one of the best Kite Surfing spots in South Africa.
Go here to watch kiters do amazing jumps, especially beautiful with the sun set. Also ideal for a 5-6km run, with the turning point at Witsands.

From Simons Town, boat trips are operated for whale watching. You can also see dolphins and seals.
Whales are usually visible rather between June and December, but you can be lucky in other months, too.

Something else. Some hippies run a very successful café in the lonely nature. Check out their fantastic cakes and let your kids do a free cayak trip on their lake nearby. But watch out for the nasty ducks and chicken who want to steal your cakes :D
