About Jacobs Ladder

Jacob's Ladder (also known as "The Steps"), a historical granite staircase and residential address in St James. Located between Main Road and Boyes Drive, this site is both a popular local landmark for fitness and a prestigious residential enclave. The Staircase: Originally built in the 1890s for whale-spotting, the stairway consists of roughly 141 steps (some sources cite up to 334 depending on the full path) hewn from local granite. It offers panoramic views of False Bay.
