The Sentinel is a prominent landmark in sunset photographs of Hout Bay as the sun sets behind it. This makes for stunning scenes as seen from Chapmans Peak drive. Take a bottle of bubbly and wait for the sunset at one of the many picnic spots on this scenic route - you are assured of a beautiful sunset, especially on those clear sunny days in summer. Of course, cloudy days make for better sunset photographs, but you have to be there to experience the tranquility of this special time of the day - no matter what the weather conditions are!
