 Noordhoek,
Cape Point Route, Cape Town, South Africa
Noordhoek is a suburb
of Cape Town, South Africa, located below Chapman's Peak on the west coast
of the Cape Peninsula, approximately thirty-five kilometres to the south
of the city itself. The name "Noordhoek" was taken from Dutch and literally
means "north corner". It is best-known for its picturesque shoreline and
its long, wide, sandy beach, which stretches south to the neighbouring
village of Kommetjie.
Near the southern end of this beach is the wreck of the steamship "Kakapo",
which ran aground about a century ago when the captain mistook Chapmans'
Peak for the Cape of Good Hope and put the helm over to port. |

| Noordhoek can
be accessed either from the spectacular scenic coastal road, Chapman's
Peak Drive, which leads out of Hout Bay or via the mountain road Ou Kaapse
Weg which cuts through the beautiful Silvermine Nature reserve - now part
of the Table Mountain National Park. Noordhoek is a small scattered community
of nice houses, often with sea views and has a large horse population as
riding on the long sandy beach is a great attraction. Many artists live
in Noordhoek. |

| Kalk Bay gets
its name from the lime extracted from sea shells and used for the construction
of buildings in the 1800s. To do this fascinating little village justice,
you'll need at least half a day. Leave yourself time to wander around the
second-hand shops, see the craft stores and art galleries, and the old
china shops reminiscent of Aladdin's cave. Whilst there, take a walk down
to the colourful harbour, where fish can be bought straight from the small
fishing boats, and you may be lucky to see a seal alongside, hoping for
a titbit. Then stop to refresh yourself at a quaint cafe, or lunch at one
of the many good restaurants. |
