3About Hout Bay
Hout Bay lies just over the mountain from the southern suburbs, reached via the M63 from Constantia or the toll road along Chapman's Peak Drive if you're after the views. Most visits are quick trips from Claremont or Muizenberg, though some drivers arrive from as far as Saldanha or Elands Bay. Cape Town International Airport is about 30 km off, and there are over 30 fast EV chargers around town. Don't miss the harbour, where the fishing boats come in each morning and boat trips head out to the seal colony on Duiker Island.
