Cape Agulhas Area Information

Cape Agulhas takes its name from the Portuguese word for "needle" after seafarers arrived on the shore and noticed that their compass pointed straight north with no deviation. It is renowned as the southernmost point in Africa and is officially where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Offering a picturesque rocky landscape, there are numerous shipwrecks that have occured off the coast and attest to the stormy seas. Those who buy property here are guaranteed a blissful seaside life. One of the main attractions is the lighthouse, which is still in use today, despite the modern satellite navigation systems that ships now have in place.


The Cape Agulhas area is arguably one of the most stunning natural landscapes along the Cape coast. Set in undulating hills and bordered by mountain ranges, Cape Agulhas has beautiful ocean views and endless beaches, offering those who buy property here everything you could possibly ask for. If you’re looking for an escape from the rest of the world, Cape Agulhas is somewhat desolate and can really feel like the end of the earth. Close by is Struisbaai, which is famed for its long expanse of sandy white beach and is a popular choice with locals who buy holiday houses and homes in the area.
