There is a place in South Africa called the Cape of Good Hope. Are there any famous attractions there?

The Cape of Good Hope is a large nature reserve of 7,750 hectares located in the southern part of the peninsula. Both the Cape of Good Hope and the Cape are within the reserve. No cars are allowed here except for sightseeing tours. In the nature reserve, various plants called Fynbos, Protea, Efica (Heath) and other flowers bloom; South African antelopes, deer, zebras, meerkats, ostriches, baboons and other animals live. In addition, there are dolphins, fur seals, etc. swimming offshore. If you are lucky, you can also see sharks from August to November.

In the amusement plaza, which is equipped with open-air barbecue facilities, there are hiking trails, driving trails, self-contained breathing apparatus for diving, changing rooms for swimming, restaurants, shops, etc. and monuments.

In front of the parking lot, there is a rail car station called Look out Point that goes to the lighthouse observatory. It can be reached quickly even on foot. You can also go to Cape Point to have a look. , it only takes about 20 minutes to walk. There is a tourist information center on the side of the rail car station, where you can get maps and brochures of the nature reserve.

From the observation deck, you can see Cape Point, the southernmost tip of the peninsula. Here, you can sometimes see the intersection of two currents from the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean to form a huge whirlpool. It turns out that the lighthouse here was built at an altitude of 248 meters. Ships at sea were often unable to see it due to fog, so it was converted into an observation deck. In 1919, the brightest lighthouse on the African coast was built at an altitude of 87 meters at Cape Point.

The small white sand beach seen to the north from the observatory is Dias Beach, and protruding in front of it is the world-famous Cape of Good Hope. There is a walking path to get there, and it takes an hour to walk from the parking lot. However, there is a cliff that is inconsistent with the scenery. There is a sign at the bottom of the cliff that reads "The southernmost point of Africa (the real southernmost point is Cape Agulhas) Cape of Good Hope" in English and Afrikaans. Many ships have been wrecked by strong winds near here.
