Just beautiful - walk around and take your time! (no need to take the cablecar if you are fine to walk 20 minutes) - lighthouse gets crowded , go to the other spots, they are quite & amazing view

Travel + Leisure

You’ll pass Boulders Beach , home to a colony of African penguins, before reaching the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve . The view from one of the peninsula’s highest points is unparalleled.

Albert Pote

When you reach the top of the Funicular ... do not walk up to the light house , but first walk along the path to the look out on the same level as the Funicular . View better there!

Amanda Thau

Scenic views along the trails and at the top of the lighthouse . Take the funicular or take a walk - both are reasonable options!

Rami Tamimi

Amazing view for tourist , light house on top of mountain and rocky beaches that separates two great oceans from each other . Don't miss ostrich farm next to it .

Driaan Jordaan

Visit the most southwestern tip of Africa at Cape Point. This pristine nature reserve includes a funicular tram to the top of the mountain , white sandy beach and plenty of history.

Worth the hike up to the lighthouse - take the funicular up and walk down. Insanely beautiful views .

vanton

It takes 30 min to walk to the edge, above the newer lighthouse but it worth it, just for the feeling that the whole continent is behind you

Paige Hunter

Gorgeous views ! Definitely take the time to walk up to the lighthouse .

Colin Brown

Absolutely beautiful and well worth the trip, however it's extremely crowded in the summer and you will certainly not be the only one there.

Susan Loh

Skip the lighthouse and hike down to the beach and up to the point. The beach is pristine!

Ronak Ahmady

Beware of baboons ! If visiting in spring (mid-Sep) make sure to bundle up it was freezing up there but oh so worth it

Marti Visser

Awesome to visit! But keep car doors locked and windows closed! Unless you want to be hijacked by baboons

Majed Alashari

Beautiful view on the South West end of Africa but avoid going there in windy day.

William Price

Awesome trip and worth the drive to see the meeting point of two oceans at the tip of Africa

Biancha van Niekerk

One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen! Love the "distance board" at the lighthouse !

A must see attraction in Cape Town. Check high tide times as the lie can be very little space on the beach when it's high tide. You have to pay to get in but the price is worth it - Wael AlHarthi
