Parks & Nature
Must do is the footpath walk between Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope. Lookout for Dassies (Rock Hyrax) on the cliffs. Climb down to wild and rugged Diaz Beach during the walk. Sit and soak in the power of this very significant Cape.
Take a walk along Olifantsbosch beach on the Atlantic Ocean side of the park. Very few "mainstream" visitors go there, so it is quiet and peaceful, wild and rugged.
