From Rugged Cliffs to Sandy Shores

The Southernmost tip of Africa is also referred to as Cape Agulhas, a name  given to the site by early Portugues navigators. In Portugues the word Agulhas means needle - which many believe refers to the razor like rocks which line the shore. 

Some people believe that the Cape Agulhas comes from the fact that early explorers noticed their compass needles exhibited no magnetic variation at the site.
