Jeans Hill in Kleinmond, Western Cape, South Africa, offers a unique paragliding experience. The site stands at 176 meters and is occasionally used, primarily for soaring in light thermic conditions. The views are impressive, with green peaks and the sea in front, making it a favorite for relaxed flying. Most pilots enjoy landing at the beach bar. The hike to the launch site takes about 20-25 minutes. Although old data suggests that driving up might be possible, it's best to verify this beforehand. The launch area is a small, rocky clearing, so precise ground handling and a committed launch are essential. Cross-country (XC) flying is possible from this site, with a site record of 19.1 km. However, many pilots prefer to enjoy the local scenery and land at the beach bar. Cautions include power lines at the bottom of the hill and avoiding landing at the township at the foot of the Three Sisters. It's recommended to land where you parked your car or at the beach if you have enough height. Do not land on the golf course. For directions, set your GPS to 'Jean's Hill Kleinmond' and follow the signs. Upon reaching the saddle at the top, walk left for 20-30 meters to the rocky outcrop for launch.
