Cape Point
- Price band RRR
- Hours listed
Dramatic cliffs at the tip of the peninsula, with a funicular to the lighthouse.
Why it’s worth it
Cliffs rise more than 200 metres above the sea in the southern part of Table Mountain National Park. The Flying Dutchman funicular carries you towards the new lighthouse, sparing the uphill walk from the car park, and the old lighthouse sits on ledges below the summit. The fynbos here is among the richest plant life on earth. Mobile signal is patchy, so download the free audio tour first.
