Look at a physical map Africa name two capes located at Africa's southern tip?

The southern most country in Africa is the Republic of South Africa. At the sourthern point of South Africa is the Western Cape Province, with Cape Town being the southern most large city.The region is home to two noteworthy "Capes":Cape Point (slightly south of Cape Town) - 34°21'24.60"S 18°29'50.63"E andCape Agulhas (southern most tip of the African continent) - 34°50'0.58"S 20° 0'0.56"ECape Agulhas, (from the Portuguese Cabo das Agulhas "Cape of Needles") is located about 200km to the east of (and south of) Cape Town. It is in actual fact the southern most point of land on the African continent. The town of Agulhas is relatively small and has a small tourist industry, a lot less than Cape Point, mainly due to its distance away from the normal tour routes.Cape Point is situated at the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula, it is often confused by tourists as the "Southern most tip of Africa". It is a much larger tourist attraction than Cape Agulhas due to its proximity to central Cape Town.The Cape Peninsula really refers to a geographical feature which is a peninsula separating Table Bay from False Bay and is not a "cape" in the true geographical sense.The city of Cape Town and Table Mountain are located on the Cape Peninsula. This region was also (and is sometimes still called the "Cape of Storms" due to the sometimes unpredictable winter storms that resulted in many early ships being lost along its coastline. To confuse matters it is also called the "Cape of Good Hope" - Kaap de Goede Hoop (from the original Dutch). During the late 1500's the Cape also acquired another title as "The Fairest Cape in all the World" by Sir Francis Drake, of British Naval fame.The Cape of Storms and Cape of Good Hope do not refer to specific geographical locations, but broad geographical localities.
