Cape of Good Hope

Western Cape, South Africa

The Cape of Good Hope (Afrikaans: Kaap de Goede Hoop [ˌkaːb də ˌɣudə ˈɦoːp]; Portuguese: Cabo da Boa Esperança [ˈkaβu ðɐ ˈβoɐʃpɨˈɾɐ̃sɐ]) is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa, based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
