Alphabetical list of South African towns                                              

Cape Agulhas, or the place where two oceans meet, lies at the furthest tip of Africa, a region that includes the towns of Arniston, Bredasdrop, L’Agulhas, Napier, Elim and Struisbaai.
 
Historically, the cape has been known to sailors as particularly hazardous, notorious for winter storms and huge rogue waves that can reach a spectacular height of 30 metres, so it’s no surprise that the coast is littered with wrecks or that the large red and white striped lighthouse was built as early as 1848 in an attempt to warn ships of the conflicting currents, the west winds and the extremely perilous waves that combine to make it the ‘Cape of Storms’. Cape Agulhas is the official point at which the cold Benguela current of the Atlantic Ocean and the strong Aghulhas current of the Indian Ocean meet. 

                                   Southernmost Tip of Africa 
                  Where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet
 
As you stand on the windswept rock that marks the very end of African continent, you reveal in the satisfaction of a journey made and a destination reached, and as you turn to leave with the African continent rising to meet a whole new journey begins.		 Technically speaking it is the southernmost point in the continent of Africa, but it is not as well known or, some say, as beautiful as the Cape of Good Hope.

Agulhas features a consistent curving coastline and rocky beach that pales in comparison with the splendour of Cape Point.

This rugged part of the coastline has a beauty all its own and has recently been proclaimed the Agulhas National Park. Ancient people have bequeathed their mark on the landscape leaving archaeological middens that date back thousands of years to the time of the Khoi-Khoi people, who trapped fish in tidal traps along this same coast. 

And there is plenty to do in this part of the world: southern right whales frequent the coast, the African black oystercatcher is protected along many of the beaches and the abundant variety of fynbos, including unique representatives such as limestone fynbos and 2000 species of indigenous plants, 100 of which are endemic to the area
