Tips on routes from Cape Town to Cape Point and information on road works and visiting times
Specifically during the high season the traffic and queues to get to Cape Point can be fairly busy.
It is a fact that a full day tour of Cape Point will bring the majority of people though the gates between 10h00 and 14h00, so if you have the choice for more flexibility try getting in earlier or later.
In both cases you will be able to experience the point in a quieter period, take time to enjoy a great breakfast at the Two Oceans Restaurant, visit the shops or relax before the amazing sunset.
From Cape Point take The Flying Dutchman Funicular up, or take a leisurely walk.
There are plenty of routes to get to Cape Point from Cape Town, from the beautiful Chapmans Peak from Hout Bay, along the coast to Noordhoek, Kommetjie and Scarborough (M65).
Other alternative roads are from Tokai and up Ou Kaapse Weg or from Lakeside (M4) along the coast or via Boyes Drive and Red Hill.
There will be extensive road works in Muizenberg and Fish Hoek early 2008, so remember to check with your tourism office, hotel or tour operator before getting on the road.
