Cape Town is not an island- it is a city situated on the mainland at the tip of the African continent. Part of the greater city stretching from Table Mountain to Cape point lies on a peninsula, surrounded by the waters of False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The notable island, which lies just off Cape Town, is Robben Island, famous place of imprisonment of Nelson Mandela.
