Cape Point, the Cape of Storms.

Cape Point is found at the very tip of the Cape Peninsula, 60km South West of Cape Town. It is in the southern part of the Table Mountain National Park, a Natural World Heritage Site.

The extent of the park is 7750 hectares and contains various flora and fauna and includes buck, baboons and even Cape Mountain Zebra as well as 250 species of birds.

The natural vegetation of the area, fynbos, comprises the smallest but richest of the world's six floral kingdoms.

Also at Cape Point is a lighthouse built in 1859 and is accessed either by walking or the Flying Dutchman Funicular. The Two Oceans Restaurant will cater for your dining needs.
