Misty Cliffs is a wild and isolated spot between Scarborough and Witsands on the southern Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula. As the name suggests, misty cliffs dominate this stretch of coast battered by Atlantic swells. Extreme conditions with big waves breaking on rocks and south-easterly offshore wind. Spot exclusively reserved for experts who know the area perfectly. The setting is spectacular but the dangers are major.
