4. Go on a hike
Fish Hoek truly is one of the most beautiful places. The following is a list of hiking trails in the area
Ou Wa Pad (Old Wagon Path)
This is an old mountain pass that follows and is accessible from the Ou Kaapse Weg. There is some excellent mountain scenery and the walk is a good introduction to the fynbos. Drive up the Ou Kaapse Weg to the Noordhoek estate of San Michel. Immediately to the north of the estate is a small entrance that marks the Ou Wa Pad. with parking for 3 or 4 cars. The path stretches across the mountain from San Michel to the Silvermine Nature Reserve.It is not strenuous and affords some wonderful views of the Fish Hoek Valley to the East.
Silvermine River Waterfalls
Drive along the Ou Kaapse Weg until you near the crest of the pass.Opposite the Silvermine Nature Reserve entrance and on the southern side is a smaller car park . Leave your car here and walk through reclaimed fynbos to a gravel path that leads around the mountain to the east. After 20 minutes you will see the Silvermine River and waterfall (which is accessible along a steep but well-defined path). You can also walk along the top of the falls but they are not as visible from the higher path. Nevertheless you can also follow this path right round to Noordhoek, Fish Hoek and Clovelly for a longer or even a circular walk.
Elsies Peak
This walk takes you up to the radio mast on top of Elsies Peak. Walk to (or park in) the Car Park adjacent to the Garden of Remembrance on Kommetjie Road and then climb the steps up to the open mountain. The walk is steep in places but the path is well-defined throughout. Once on the mountain you will be rewarded with stunning views of Fish Hoek and the surrounding areas. You can choose a steeper or easier climb at various stages. Ultimately you will crest the mountain below the mast which gives panoramic views of Glencairn and Simonstown to the South or False Bay up to Strand and beyond to the North.
Peers Cave
You can approach this shorter walk from both Fish Hoek and the Ou Kaapse Weg, the latter being preferred for ease of access. Additionally the walk up the dunes from Fish Hoek is very overgrown.
This walk takes you to Peers Cave which is a renowned discovery site for early man in the area.
