Beautiful coastlines often go hand in hand with beautiful roads. With the announcement that the world’s first yacht-friendly BAC Mono supercar has been designed it will soon be much easier to combine a passion for yachting and a passion for driving.

Not all roads were created equal so here are eight of the best coastal roads to enjoy.

1. Garden Route, South Africa

South Africa’s Garden Route extends from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River in the Eastern Cape. The 150-mile drive combines amazing roads with unbelievable coastal scenery. It is also one of the few places in the world where you have the chance to spot whales and elephants along the same stretch of road.

You could drive the route in a day but it is recommended that you take your time and stop off at sights such as Knysna Elephant Park, De Hoop Nature Reserve and Tsitsikamma National Park.
