What is interesting here? Actually nothing else then a small monument with a small plate. Here is the dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
You
have a nice view towards the old lighthouse of Cape Agulhas. The cape itself
goes very shallowly into the sea. There are a lot of nice beaches around, where
the water is definitely warmer than in Cape Town. That's the good influence of
the Indian Ocean.
If you are anyway close by or on the Garden Route towards Cape Town, then you could do a short diversion to come here. But to go to Cape Agulhas especially to see it, it is not worth the trip.
