Activities in Noordhoek

The Satori Camel Run is a new 10mile (16km) running race through Noordhoek and its surroundings. 2008 is the first year that this even is being run and the final route has not been finalized yet. However, the website refers to beach, road and mountain running. Part of the race will be through the Cape Point Vineyards and there are prizes for King and Queen of the mountains at the top of a hill in the vineyards.

There is a long, white beach stretching 6km from the base of Chapmans Peak in Noordhoek to Kommetjie along the freezing Atlantic. Known alternately as Noordhoek Beach and Long Beach this is a popular spot for long walks. The water is generally too cold for all but the most determined swimmers but the beach is still popular on warm days.

Noordhoek Farm Village is located at the Southern end of Chapmans Peak Drive and offers 3 restaurants, plenty of stores, 2 pubs, a children's playground and an organic nursery. Because of the central kids playground and relaxed open atmosphere this is a very popular stop for families - kids are off to play while mom and dad have a bite to eat or even stop off at one of the pubs.

Thorfyns is the restaurant at the beautiful Monkey Valley resort in Noordhoek. With a view of the spectacular Noordhoek Beach (from the deck) and a real country feel this is a fun restaurant which is not particularly well known.
