Situated in the 7750 hectare Cape Peninsula Park, on the most Southwesterly
point of Africa, this breathtaking scenic outlook is a bird watcher's paradise
with at least 250 species of birds found here. There is approx. 1100 indigenous
fynbos species, some of which occur nowhere else in the world. At 249 m above
sea level, Cape Point is one of the highest sea cliffs in the world offering
numerous scenic walks and trails as well as excellent diving and angling
spots. Overlooking the point where the cold Benguela current on the West coast
and
the warm Agulhas current on the East coast seem to merge, you are invited
to breathe the freshest air in the world and marvel at Creation!
