Itinerary description
One of the Cape trails that takes you up to the old lighthouse and then moves to the False Bay side (eastern) of the peninsula for the walk to Cape Point and the newer lighthouse.
Great views, lots of birds and typically very windy. There is parking, washrooms, shops and a restaurant at the start location. Can easily be combined in the same day with the hike to Cape of Good Hope (and they share the same starting point).
Arrive early to avoid crowds (especially on weekends).
