Clarence Drive is a magnificent scenic coastal drive between the windswept hamlet of Rooi-Els and the naval town of Gordons Bay, which nestles in the north-eastern crook of False Bay in the shadow of the Hottentots Hollands mountains. This beautiful, coastal drive stretches between the two towns over 22 km, hugging the wild turquoise Cape coastline all the way. The road is in impeccable condition after a recent revamp. It is one of those drives that national and international tourists alike should not leave Cape Town without experiencing! The road is named after Jack Clarence, who'se vision and foresight motivated the construction of the road. This is one of those roads that should ideally be driven at a leisurely pace. The 1998 upgrade has created a marvellous, safe road with lots of safe places to stop to enjoy the marvellous views over the dramatic scenery of towering mountains meeting the rugged coastline. The road has become a standard must-do trip for tourists on their Cape Peninsula bucket list. The route will take approx. 30 mins to drive. It ends at Gordons Bay, which is named after a Scot – Col. Robert Gordon, who was the last commander of the Dutch East India Garrison in the Cape.
