The Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, built in 1849, is the second-oldest working lighthouse in South Africa. Located at the southernmost tip of Africa, it marks the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Its design was inspired by the Lighthouse of Alexandria, featuring a striking red and white tower. Originally oil-fueled, it now operates electrically, warning ships of the nearby Agulhas Reef. The lighthouse includes a museum and offers scenic views, attracting both tourists and maritime enthusiasts.
