Weather is gorgeous, love is in the air and we think the having a perfect view spot to watch the sun set is one of the most romantic things to do on the Cape Point Route - so here our some of our hottest tips.
We do recommend visiting one of the local delis on the Cape Point Route to organise a private picnic basket and taking your loved one to spot for some wining and dining with views to die for and sunsets right over the ocean. If you are in Noordhoek - pop into the Foodbarn Deli at Noordhoek Farm village. In Hout Bay try Deli Delish or Scarecrows, In Kommetjie the organic farmstall at Imhoff Farm has wonderful home made, home grown produce. If you are near Cape Point - the newly revamped food Store has some fantastic deli products and take-aways for your picnic. And what's a deli if you haven't visited Olympia Cafe and Deli in Kalk Bay.
Picnic in hand, head for your spot and settle in. The sun sets on the Atlantic Seaboard and with a combination of mountain and sea as the backdrop and the view, you just can't get more romantic when trying to find a secluded romantic venue for sunset. We always recommend going HIGH!
Great locations include:
* Scarborough & Misty Cliffs - both have a wild edge to them but very secluded.
* Kommetjie - either head to the top of the Slangkoppunt Lighthouse for one of the best views on the Cape Point Route. Unfortunately you can't stay at the top for the actual sunset but walk across the road and up towards the Rubbi Chapel for some quiet space and beautiful viewing.
* Noordhoek - you can't beat the beach - the long, white, sandy space with sea and sky surrounding you!
* Chapman's Peak Drive - this remarkable road has to have the best view over Noordhoek Beach and you can view all the way to the lighthouse in Kommetjie! If you are on the Hout Bay side, stop at any of the picnic spots or the viewpoint at the top for glorious panoramas of Hout Bay and the Sentinal.
If you are on the False Bay side, you don't see the sun set but the glow in the sky, and pink hues and stunning views won't disappoint! Boyes Drive overlooking Muizenberg and Hout Bay win the award but heading up any of the hills above Fish Hoek, Glencairn or Simons' Town will do equally well. Drive as high as you can and there are numerous mountain paths that will have you alone on the mountainside in a few steps.
