Across the body of water called Hout Bay you can see the city by the same name (Hout Bay), located on the Atlantic Ocean, on the Cape Peninsula of South Africa, accessible via highway M6 (also called Chapman's Peak Drive).

Hout Bay is located inside the Table Mountain National Park, in a region called Karbonkelberg, after the nearby mountain of the same name. It is a tourist destination, with fishing boats and scenic water rides available for hire. Hiking and other outdoor activities are also popular.

(WARNING: when you stop to take photo, you may be approached by wild baboons. Do NOT feed them, and please return to your vehicle immediately. They have been known to try to steal your belongings.)
