Slangkop @ Kommetjie

Location: Kommejtie, starting from the Slangkop Lighthouse OSM map

Overview: A fun short scramble up the front of Slangkop to the ruins of the old radar station

Route description: Park at the Slangkop Lighthouse. Walk back along the road to Kommejtie for 100m and take the path up to and across Huskisson Way (the road to Scarborough). Go south along Huskisson to a suitable break and find the way up wending through rockbands and avoiding the bush. There are various alternatives.

Return down the zig-zag path to the Lighthouse or explore south along the ridge and descend to Slangkop Road.

Lot's of worthwhile add-ons in the area:

  • Visit the lighthouse, but checking open hours. They are limited

  • Take the coastal boardwalk to Kommetjie Beach, stopping at one of the many delightful watering holes in Kommetjie on the way or back.
