Cape Point






With the sun still shining in Cape Town, Moni and I decided to explore the legendary Cape Point Reserve, which is the finger of land that extends towards Antarctica and which divides South Africa's two oceans -- the Atlantic to the West and the Indian to the East. Although Cape Point is marketed as the southernmost tip of Africa, we later learned that the real title goes to Seal Point, at the tip of Cape St. Francis. Nevertheless, Moni and I enjoyed the spendor of Cape Point Reserve on a sunny and clear winter's day.

Cape Point doesn't divide the 2 oceans. That's another marketing lie from the Capetown Tourism Board, along with The 2 Oceans Race, etc, etc...
The dividing point between the Indian and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the southernmost point of the African continent, is Cape Agulhas, some 4 hours drive south east of Capetown.
