Cape Agulhas
from The Circle Volume 19
by John Stretch
The little village of Cape Agulhas on the southernmost tip of Africa, is 220 kms south-east of Cape Point as the crow flies. There is a walkway along the seafront to the monument where the two oceans meet.
You can also visit the lighthouse and stroll further along the walkway to view the shipwreck of the Meisho Maru.

Just four kilometers from Cape Agulhas you come to the holiday village of Struisbaai. It was a fishing village for many years and still has a beautiful natural harbour.

A great deal of development has taken place in recent years, populations and prices have boomed, and a shopping mall is under construction.
