Sightseeing

Don’t expect any road signs indicating how to get there, as this is one little spot the locals like to keep quiet about - but ask anyone how to get to the Wildside and you will soon figure it out. Take along a bottle of wine, some snacks and perhaps a blanket, as it does get chilly – and prepare yourself for a breath-taking sunset.

Seal Point Lighthouse was erected in 1878 and stands as the tallest masonry lighthouse in South Africa. Over the years it has been modernized and refurbished and still plays an important role in warning passing ships of a deadly two-kilometer (1.2-mile) reef running out into the ocean. Although the interior is currently closed to visitors, many still stop at this iconic landmark and it’s a popular location to take photographs. Another attraction here is the penguin rehabilitation center, located adjacent to the lighthouse. Entrance is free, but there is a donation box and any monies received from visitors goes towards the feeding and rehabilitation of injured seabirds and penguins.
