    I have said so much about L'Agulhas, better known as Cape Agulhas on my Intro page and my hotel and accomodation page, what I have left out, is that I nicknamed this wonderful stretch of land as my "Little Cape Town", without the noise, traffic jams, etc. Also because it has a little mountain, little fishing harbour, hikes and trails, whale watching and above all........Peace and quiet!!

    The south part of the Cape Peninsula is covered by the Cape of good hope nature reserve. It is a area in which you find lots of fauna and flora, the most southern point, the Cape of good hope and a very interesting museum. An entrance fee has to be paid but it is really worth it. Dont miss this reserve when in CT. It really is a must !!!!!!!!

    Cape Agulhas End of
    Africa

    Cape Agulhas the REAL end of Africa!! Most people mistake Cape Point just a short drive from Cape Town for the southern most point of Africa. Heard same rubbish being told by touristguides. A glance at the atlas should clarify that once n for all. Cape Agulhas about a three-hour drive southeast of Cape Town. Follow the N2 from Cape Town to CALEDON, Drive through NAPIER and BREDASDORP, In Bredasdorp, take the road to STRUISBAAI, LAGULHAS +- 35 km, on the main road. Here, the two oceans really meet in a spectacular show of natural beauty.Therefore pic is of REAL southern most point of Africa.Visitors should take note, driving on the beaches and dunes is illegal as this is destroing the delicate seafront wildlife some of which are endangered species. The L’Agulhas Lighthouse (tel: (028) 424 2584) and Zuidste Kaap (tel: (028) 435 6034) restaurants to dine out at the END. There's also a guesthouse Agulhas Country Lodge if you'd like to stay there for the night after enjoying a gourmet dinner. Theyr webaddress is included below.

    As you can see, the climb up to the Lighthouse is fairly steep, but it is worth it for the spectacular view. The first lighthouse was built from cast iron in Greenwich, London, in 1859. It has since been rebuilt at a differnt localtion for better visibility. Now the bean can be seen up to 63 km out to sea.

    No natural boundary seperates the two oceans, but the geographical boundary is generally recognised to be here at Cape Agulhas At Cape Point, the warm Mozambique current meets the cold Benguela current, making a significant impact on all forms of marine life in the vicinity and on the flora on the peninsula.

    Cape Point is a dramatic knife edge of rock that slices into the Atlantic, this is a very spectacular piece of landscape.

    The funicular railway can carry 500 people an hour to the viewing platform, although there are still another 120 steps to climb from the railway to the very top. It is worth it though for the view.
