Visitors who are eager to pay a visit to the famous old lighthouse atop Cape Point frequently skip the Lighthouse Keeper's Trail, but not to neglect this short trail that runs below the well-known landmark. The trail begins just behind the upper funicular station, and a narrow but well-established path will lead you to the lesser-known new lighthouse along a sheer cliff-face. It offers a fascinating view of the old Cape Point lighthouse towering many meters above and walks you through historic bunkers and beautiful fynbos until the trail runs out at what certainly feels like Africa's very tip.
