Table Mountain National Park
Signal cannon and Cape Point
This 14.5 km hike from the Cape Point gate to the visitor centre at the point, <down the False Bay coast, has long been one of my favourites. It offers spectacular views of the southern peninsula and False Bay across to the Kogelberg coast in the east. The trail undulates behind Judas Peak, over Die Boer and behind Paulsberg, before descending to Bordjiesrif for a walk along the coast. It then ascends Vasco da Gama Peak to follow the peninsula’s spine to the restaurant. The trail is stony, and with many places to pause and enjoy the beauty, so allow at least six hours.
Peter and I treated it as preparation for our forthcoming Wild Coast hike, while Santie was doing the same in advance of tackling the Amatola.
