This is Cape Point, part of what is the Table Mountain National Park. The other point of interest a few minutes drive from Cape Point, is the Cape of Good Hope. This whole area was of great shipping significance back in the day - lots of wrecks to prove it too! Standing on the tip of Africa and looking south towards Antarctica, the Indian ocean is on the left and the Atlantic on the right. The actual merging point of the two bodies of water is somewhat less distinct, with Cape Agulhas (the southernmost tip of Africa) also claiming the 'two oceans' title.
Cape Point is a pleasant walk. Watch out for the baboons though - they are vicious!
