Scarborough Area Guide

Scarborough Overview

Scarborough and Misty Cliffs comprise a small little seaside village on the south west of the peninsula. Located at the southern end of the extremely beautiful Kommetjie Pass, it is southern cape peninsula countryside at its best.

It is a quiet, small rural community.
