History of Cape Point

Cape Point lies within the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve which forms part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest of the world’s floral kingdoms and one of the most diverse. The point was named the Cape of Storms by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, as it was so dangerous to navigate. Frequent violent storms and harsh winds were famous for forcing ships to run aground on the rocky coastline. The area was made safer in 1859, with the addition of a landmark lighthouse, which is now used as a central monitoring point for all other lighthouses on the coast of South Africa.

Here you’ll embark on a sea kayaking adventure from the Simons Town waterfront. Paddle past the quaint civilian harbour as well as the historic Naval Harbour and continue on to Boulders Beach – which is home to a large colony of protected African Penguins.

Located at the southwestern tip of Africa, in the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park, Cape Point has captivated travelers for centuries with its dramatic scenery and fascinating history. The rugged coastline, sandy beaches, valleys, and mountains are a haven for hikers, surfers, anglers, and cyclists. For those who enjoy life at a more relaxed pace, the Flying Dutchman Funicular transports visitors up to a steep slope to the top lighthouse and the Two Oceans Restaurant is a great spot for light meals or their signature seafood platter. Located at Cape Point, the Flying Dutchman funicular is a cable-railway believed to be the only commercial funicular of its type in Africa. It is named after the local legend of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship which is still said to be haunting the waters around Cape Point. The Flying Dutchman Funicular saves visitors a long uphill walk from the car park to see the old lighthouse and enjoy the panoramic views.

Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve After a lunch stop, travel to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve – one of two world-renowned landmarks within the Table Mountain National Park. The Cape of Good Hope functioned as something of a beacon for early sailors rounding the Cape and is still widely referred to as The Cape by seafarers.

The park is home to an array of natural South African fynbos as well as over 250 different species of birds, buck, baboons and Cape Mountain Zebra. There are numerous paths on which one can set off on foot, and tidal pools on almost isolated beaches.
