Cape Point

View Larger Map
Cape Point is a promontory at the south-east corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and very scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula. The cape is located at [show location on an interactive map] 34°21′26″S 18°29′51″E / -34.35722, 18.4975, about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) east and a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the south-west corner.[1] Although these two rocky and beautiful capes are very well-known, neither cape is actually the southernmost point in Africa; that is Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the south-east.
