What to Wear on a Cape Point Tour

Cape Point looks tropical in photos. In person, the wind rewrites the dress code.

Layers beat fashion at Cape Point. Even when Cape Town city is 28C, the lighthouse walk can feel like 15C with gusts.\n\nOur Icon Series and Peninsula tours both hit the Point — pack a windbreaker, closed shoes for the boardwalks, and sunscreen for the exposed sections. The fynbos doesn't offer shade.\n\nWe keep a spare blanket in the vehicle for the Cape of Good Hope photo stop. You'll thank us.
