Top 10 Lighthouses in Western Cape, South Africa
South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

One cannot visit L'Agulhas without a stop at the famous Lighthouse overlooking the most southern tip of Africa. This time around what made it extra special is that my 3 year old son got to climb to the top and he enjoyed every second of it and was one of the highlights of our entire holiday. If there is one pit stop to make in L'Agulhas it is the Lighthouse.

A definite day trip. Take water and don't wear sandals. We started out at the tip and walked the trail to the light house and back. In the middle is a secluded beach with a billion steps to get down to. This was awesome but that climb back up may kill ya. We didn't expect to be there so long so plan on most of the day if you plan to enjoy walking this trail. We'll definitely go back for a day the next time we're here. Don't miss it.

Keep in mind access to this site is only possible if theres staff on the grounds, no matter what the literatute out there states. We were lucky enough to find it open on the day we visited and the grounds is neat and tidy and it only costs R20.00 to climb up the tower....the view from up top is amazing on a clear day.

This lighthouse is located close to the relatively remote town of Kleinbaai famous for its white shark diving tourism. The lighthouse was built in 1895 over 40 years after the HMS Birkenhead, a British troop carrier hit a reef about 1 kilometre away offshore and sank with the tragic loss of over 400 lifes in 1852. The reef was clearly visible from the shore during our visit with the waves breaking over it. There still appears to be an eerie silence hovering over this place. After having paid an unusually small entrance fee we climbed up the light house which offers a good 360 degree view over this rather remote part of the coastline. On the basement is a mini museum displaying previously used electric light bulbs and gas lights. There was a very friendly lighthouse keeper on site who happily shared his knowledge about this and other lighthouses along the coast. There is plenty of parking at the bottom, clean toilets and one can even book self catering accommodation on the property. I can definitely recommend to visit this very interesting tourist attraction which is suitable for the whole family. Please check opening times: October - April Monday to Friday10h00-15h00, rest of year by appointment (+27 21 449 2400).
