Cape Agulhas Lighthouse is a historic landmark within Agulhas National Park and an important feature of the region’s maritime heritage. Built to aid early explorers navigating the rough seas off Cape Agulhas, it is the second oldest working lighthouse in southern Africa. Visitors can climb seventy-one steps to reach the top of the lighthouse. The structure was constructed using stone mined from the adjacent limestone quarry and today also houses a unique lighthouse museum. To the east of the lighthouse, remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoisan people can still be seen, adding further historical interest to the site.
