Just coastin'

John Masefield had it right: ‘I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky’

The southern Cape coast, particularly the area around Agulhas (the Portuguese Cabo das Agulhas translates as ‘Cape of the Needles’) is one of the most dangerous in the world – if you’re in a ship. If you’re on foot, though, and trundling along the section of the shoreline that falls within the De Hoop Nature Reserve, it’s also one of the most bewitchingly beautiful.
