Helpful Tips
There are beaches, viewpoints, historical points, and numerous walking, hiking and biking paths – so plan to spend a good chunk of your day at Cape Point.
Visit the sites and walks at Bordjiesrif and Buffels Bay, where tidal pools are a great place for a swim. Be sure to bring your camera for photographing the hundreds of indigenous plants found here and nowhere else in the world. You may even capture a photo of one of the 250 bird species that call the Point home.
