Sightseeing and Adventure
Beautiful coastal road from Gordon's Bay to Rooi-els with breathtaking views, stunning beaches and braai and camping sites along the way. Stop for coffee at one of the mobiles along the way, have breakfast at Pit Stop or lunch or just a beer at The Drummond Arms in Rooi Els.
This beautiful, coastal drive stretches between the two towns over 21 km, hugging the wild turquoise Cape coastline all the way. If you like passes with lots of corners, then this one is for you, as it contains 77 bends, curves and corners of which four are in excess of 150 degrees. The road is in a beautiful condition and attracts tourists, locals, bikers and cyclists in their droves. Overtaking is fairly limited and in general one can expect to average well below 60 kph.

Beautiful hike to fresh water mountain pools and a waterfall. It's best to go in a group. Beautiful hiking trail, incredible vistas for taking pictures. From the view of the ocean from the parking area to the top of the mountain. And the pools are awesome for a swim! Booking your permit well in advance is essential; only 50 people allowed in per day. Tranquil and beautiful!

Perfect for sunbathing and swimming.
This beach is absolutely amazing. Therefore you can expect it to be extremely full when you go on a hot day. It's clean and the water is amazing. Avoid going on hot days, as you will struggle to find parking. Should you decide to go, make sure to take a gazebo, loads of sunscreen and be there early!

Absolutely most beautiful place, but make sure to go at LOW TIDE in order to get into the main cave. No stairs so up and down you need good balance and a reasonable fitness level. But so worth it! Popular surfer spot.
