Noordhoek is a coastal town in the
Western Cape, South Africa, located below
Chapman's Peak on the west coast of the
Cape Peninsula and is approximately 35 km (22 mi) to the south of Cape Town. The beach is a six-kilometre (3.7 mi) stretch of fine white sand used by walkers and horse-riders; winds are often strong and the sea is cold and wild. The neighbouring suburb of
Kommetjie can be seen in the distance.
