Cape Peninsula Attractions

The Cape Peninsula alone, 52km/32mi long and no more than 16km/10mi wide, would be sufficient justification for a visit to Cape Town. Along its coasts are miles/kilometers of beaches of white sand, and at its southern tip is the world-famous Cape of Good Hope. Cape Point, a few hundred yards east of the Cape of Good Hope, has been recognized by geographers as the point where the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean meet - making Cape Town the only city in the world situated on two oceans. Here the Atlantic's cold Benguela Current meets the Indian Ocean's warm Agulhas Current. But neither Cape Point nor the Cape of Good Hope is the most southerly point in Africa: that honor belongs to Cape Agulhas, farther to the east.

Kalk Bay, South Africa
(Near Cape Town)
In the busy harbor of Kalk Bay the fishing boats can be seen every day coming in with their catches. The place originated in 1795 as a military outpost, and in 1806 it became a whaling station, but when the number of whales in False Bay fell sharply whaling ceased after only five years. Since then Kalk Bay has developed into a bathing resort.
Kommetjie, South Africa
(Near Cape Town)
The little fishing town of Kommetjie, attracts surfers rather than bathers because of its prevailing strong winds. Its long sandy beach also offers excellent opportunities for bird-watchers.
Long Beach
Long Beach is a popular surfing spot where there is a trailer-park.
