The major event of 2003 in Noordhoek was the the re-opening of Chapman's Peak Drive. This occurred on the 20th December 2003. This beautiful drive was originally known as the "Hout Bay-Noorde Hoek Road". Chapman's Peak Drive, one of the most scenic drives in the world was colsed in January 2000 after the tragic death of a Noordhoek resident on 29 December 1999 when a falling rock plunged down onto her car. Please see under "Activities" for more details and many pictures.
