Cape Point Nature Reserve

Cape Point is a full-scale scenic knockout where rugged cliffs, crashing ocean and fynbos landscapes collide at the tip of the Cape Peninsula. It’s one of those places where you’ll take “just one photo”… then accidentally take 147. Cape Point forms part of the southern section of Table Mountain National Park and the Cape Floral Region is famous for its biodiversity. 

Reasons to visit

• Iconic viewpoints & lighthouses with dramatic coastal panoramas

• Short walks or longer hikes depending on your energy levels

• Epic scenic driving with plenty of lookout stops (make a day of it) 

Suggested time to spend

• Full day (best experience).

• If you’re rushed: 4–6 hours inside the reserve, but you’ll wish you had longer.

Practical notes

• Gate times vary seasonally and generally align with sunrise to sunset. 

• Cape Point and Boulders are cash-free at the gates (card payments).
