A nice park and grab cache at the start of Elsie’s Peak walk. If you don't retrieve the log book you cannot claim a find.
It's not on this Sign.
Fish Hoek is known for its white beach, warm(ish) water, sharks, and hospitality. But one of its lesser known attractions is also one of its most beautiful: Elsie’s Peak. There is a lovely walk up the mountain which is not too strenuous and which guarantees breathtaking views of False Bay.
Elsie’s Peak is the mountain that separates Fish Hoek from Glencairn and Simons Town. The spate of growth in Fish Hoek in the late 90s and early 2000s saw the construction of a number of extremely large and extremely luxurious houses on the mountain, reaching about two-thirds of the way to the top. It’s not safe to build any higher, a fact for which most of Fish Hoek’s residents are grateful as no one wanted to see the beautiful mountain despoiled by human habitation.
The walk takes between two and three hours, depending on your level of fitness and your proclivity to stop and admire the view
