Cape Point This the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula. While it might not officially be the place where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet it is still one of the most spectacular headlands in the world , no wonder Sir Francis Drake - after his record-breaking circumnavigation - dubbed it "the fairest cape in all the circumference of the world". (The official meeting point has been declared to be at Cape Agulhas , the southernmost point of Africa).
Needle-sharp and steep-sided, Cape Point lords it over a sometimes wild and stormy sea. But, on the usually bright summer days, it is sunny and pleasant with pretty fragrant flowers all around. The point is at the far end of the Cape Peninsula National Park, in the section that was previously called the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. You can visit Cape Point by car, on a bus trip or, for the more adventurous, join a cycle tour through the reserve, ending with a walk to the viewpoint.The truly adventurous may like to join a sea kayak trip around the point only done in perfect weather.
