The magnificent views of Cape Point (Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, +27217809204, www.cpnp.co.za), where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet are only a 45-minute drive from town. Take the M3 past Simons Town and follow the signs from there. For longer journeys, explore the West Coast's quiet fishing villages (take the N7 highway), take a wine-tasting day trip into the Winelands (N1) or follow the South Coast (N2) on to the fabled Whale Route.
