Located near Simon’s Town (+50kms from Cape Town central) lies the secluded beachside campsite of Miller’s Point, one of my favourite destinations for an overnight microadventure. Cycle through some of Cape Town's most magnificent coastal scenery. Go to sleep to the sounds of the Indian Ocean and wake up to golden shades of dawn and a dip in the bay. Catch a glimpse of seals and penguins. Fuel up at one of the local cafe´s on the way back.

The route to Miller’s Point is incredibly scenic although challenging both in distance and elevation. It follows the popular cycle route along the Atlantic Seaboard with three fairly decent climbs: Suikerbossie up to Llandudno, Chapman’s Peak drive and Blackhill. As one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world, Chapman's Peak Drive is know for its stunning vistas of ocean and mountain, lazy winding turns, challenging climbs and fascinating engineering. From the bottom of Blackhill the route meanders gently along the coast, passing through small coastal villages of Glen Cairn and Simons' Town. Just south of Simon's Town you will find Miller's Point campsite.

For the return trip there is the option of a quick detour to the quaint fishing village of Kalk Bay for breakfast and then taking a@slice[ gravel shortcut](d,74940.57,78111.16) through Clovelly which will bring you out to Noordhoek. This is a great option especially on hotter days when you can jump in the river for a dip. For those who don’t want to cycle the entire way back or skip the climbs, there’s also the option of catching the train from Simon's Town or Muizenberg back to the city.
