The park also features several beautiful beaches, such as Boulders Beach, known for its resident penguin colony, and Cape Point, where visitors can explore the historic lighthouse.

Other attractions within the park include the Cape of Good Hope, a dramatic headland often considered the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and the Flying Dutchman Funicular, which provides a scenic ride up to the New Cape Point Lighthouse. Visitors can also explore various coastal drives, such as Chapman’s Peak Drive, which offers stunning views along the way.
