Cape Agulhas - 34°50'0.58"S 20° 0'0.56"E
This is not only the southern most tip of South Africa, but also of the African continent.
Cape Agulhas, this is located about 200km to the east of (and south of) Cape Town. The town of Agulhas is relatively small and has a small tourist industry, a lot less that Cape Point (situated closer to the city of Cape Town), mainly due to its distance away from the normal tour routes.
Cape Agulhas is also the meeting point of two ocean currents, the warm Indian ocean current which travels down the east coast of Africa and the cold Benguela current which travels up the west coast of Africa. This gives rise to the frequent mist/ fog off of the coast.
The marker beacon is realatively small and is constructed of stone, it is situated in the Agulhas National Park which is just outside the town.
