Baden Powell Drive is the road running between Muizenberg and Gordon’s Bay along the False Bay shoreline. This route can be a nice alternative to the N2 highway when traveling East. To one side, you’ll marvel at the beautiful blue waters of False Bay. To the other, a view which will make your heart skip a beat as you catch a glimpse of the full extent of the vast population living in townships surrounding Cape Town. This route is safe during daylight hours and often has less traffic than the highway, but it’s not well lit and should not be taken at night.
The M5, running from Muizenberg to Gordon’s Bay, can be a nice alterative to the N1? highway. To one side, you’ll have sweeping views of False Bay. To the other, a view which makes your heart drop to your stomach as you catch your first glimps of the full expanse of townships surrounding Cape Town. This route is safe during daylight hours, and often has less traffic than the highway, but I would discourage stopping and driving at night (it’s not well lit).
