The Cape Point Lighthouse Located at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve
Now a traffic control tower, The Cape Point Lighthouse was built in 1860 and is situated 238 metres above sea level. Because of it's height it provided no assistance to ships during stormy times or heavy fog. With the wreck of the Portugese liner the "Lusitania" on April 18, 1911 the decision was taken to move the Cape Point light to its present location above Dias Point where it now stands, only 87 metres above sea-level.
