A wind-scoured promontory opens before you: low, scrubby fynbos rolling to a battered lighthouse, waves from two oceans colliding in a ragged line of white foam.

The Cape Agulhas Lighthouse was completed in the mid-19th century to warn ships off a coast notorious for wrecks; the region’s towns grew around fishing and maritime services.
