The Agulhas area has several attractions, which
draw tourists to its shores each year. The nearby towns L’Agulhas
and Struisbaai offer several water sports such as swimming and
angling. Within the confines of the developing national park,
tourists can enjoy the following places of interest:
The southern-most of Africa – The official position of
the tip is 34° 49’ 58" south and 20° 00’
12’’ east. A cairn marks the tip’s exact location.
It is at this longitudinal point that the Atlantic and Indian
oceans officially meet.
The lighthouse at Cape Agulhas – The lighthouse was built
to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas
off Cape Agulhas. Seventy-one steps lead up to the top of the
second oldest working lighthouse in southern Africa. Stone mined
from the adjacent limestone quarry provided the raw materials
for its construction. The building also houses a unique lighthouse
museum. Remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoisan
people can be seen to the east of the lighthouse.
Graveyard of ships – The Zoetendal, Birkenhead and Armiston
are some of the many shipwrecks found along the Agulhas coastline.
Showpieces from these shipwrecks are on display at the Bredasdorp
Shipwreck museum. Visitors to the are can still see the remains
of the Meisho Maru 38 wreck on the shores of Cape Agulhas.
Fynbos – The Agulhas Plain has great diversity of flora.
The Agulhas area contains representatives of unique vegetation
such as limestone fynbos. Although most species bloom between
May and September, there are flowers to be enjoyed in any season.
Only privately run accommodation in towns such as L’Agulhas,
