One of the most spectacular beach views in the world comes into sight as you come around Chapman’s Peak Drive. Noordhoek’s 8km beach is the longest and widest stretch of untouched pure white sand in the whole peninsula.

Not suitable for swimming but perfect for the experienced surfer, it is wonderful for long walks, horse rides and sundowner drinks.

The village of Noordhoek does not really have a centre, it is more of a leafy horsey settlement with one or two eating and drinking establishments, some quiet guest houses and lovely craft centres.
