The city

What to expect from L'Agulhas.

L'Agulhas is the southernmost village in Africa, next to Cape Agulhas, where the international convention separates the Atlantic from the Indian Ocean. The red-and-white lighthouse from 1849, with a museum, and the marker for the continent's extreme point lie within Agulhas National Park. The village is small, with holiday homes, and nearby is the long Struisbaai beach and its fishing harbor.
