Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and very scenic land form that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent.
Cape Point is situated in the southern section of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) and is accessible via the Cape of Good Hope entrance. It is on the southwest corner of the Cape Peninsula, about 2.3km (1.4mi) west and a little south of Cape Point.
The TMNP encompasses the incredibly scenic Table Mountain Chain, which stretches from Signal Hill in the north to Cape Point in the south, as well as the seas and coastlines of the Peninsula. The narrow stretch of land, with its beautiful valleys, bays and beaches, is surrounded by the cold Atlantic Ocean to the west and the warmer waters of False Bay and the Indian Ocean to the east. Two prominent global landmarks lie within the park’s boundaries: the majestic Table Mountain and legendary Cape of Good Hope.
Cape Point has received global acclaim for its diverse and unique flora and fauna. From towering rugged cliffs to white sandy beaches, the region offer visitors vistas of spectacular beauty, captivating history and an array of recreational and leisure activities.
It would be an injustice to spend anything less than a day exploring all that the Point has to offer. It truly is “one point with a million points of view!”
