Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope are located within the Table Mountain National Park, near the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula in Cape Town, South Africa. These iconic natural landmarks offer dramatic coastal scenery, rugged cliffs, and panoramic ocean views. Visitors can hike a variety of trails ranging from short walks to longer routes that pass through fynbos-covered hills and viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
The Cape Point Funicular provides an easy way to reach the lighthouse, while wildlife enthusiasts can spot baboons, ostriches, and antelope along the way. Scenic drives, photography, and birdwatching are also popular activities. The best time to visit is during the spring and summer months, from September to March, when the weather is mild, days are longer, and the natural beauty of the area is at its peak.
There are dining options on-site, including cafés and snack points near the parking areas. Bathrooms are available throughout the park, and main pathways and viewpoints are wheelchair accessible. Access to the park requires an entry fee, and secure parking is provided for visitors’ convenience.
