The oldest lighthouse in South Africa is the Green Point Lighthouse, which was first lit in 1824. It is located in Cape Town and is still in operation today. The lighthouse was built to guide ships into Table Bay and it is the oldest operational lighthouse in South Africa.

Forty-three lighthouses guide seagoing vessels along South Africa’s 2 800km coastline. The oldest of them, erected in 1824, is the Green Point Lighthouse in the suburb of Mouille Point in Cape Town.
Before then they made fires on @Robbenislandza on a spot called Vuurberg.

Our Top 3 Tidal Pools scattered along #FalseBay:
💦 Miller's Point - Close to Cape Point, one of the largest in #CapeTown.
💦 Wooley's tidal pool - This often overlooked pool offers great protection against chilly SE winds.
💦 Dalebrook - Our number one, right across from us!

I would like to say ‘thank you’ to our Officers who write the most fines for littering & dumping, by taking them for lunch.
I want them to know that this is an important crime & worth their limited time in enforcing.
A cleaner Cape Town for everyone, no matter where you live.
Just incredible!

Another day, another paddle to the iconic @Romanrocklight, taking friends from #DarEsSalaamYachtClub to see the grand old lady of #FalseBay.
Gosh, if "Follow your passion" is bad advice then it's the best bad advice it ever followed! 😉❤
Well done guys!!!
Last Friday, our #MarineExplorers from Eco Active completed their final pool session!
This week we’ll be taking shelter from the howling southeaster in the safety of the Shark Education Centre in #KalkBay.
But we’ll be sure to be back in the #ocean again from next week!

Heroes don't always wear capes. These disaster & emergency heroes returned to CT today from Turkiye. They joined @GiftoftheGivers mission to help earthquake victims. I applaud you all. 👏 Thank you for your selflessness & dedication.
