This is how Wikipedia describes The Cape Peninsula..
The Cape Peninsula is a generally rocky peninsula that juts out for 75 km (47
mi) into the Atlantic Ocean at the south-western extremity of the African continent.
At the southern end of the peninsula are Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. On
the northern end is the famous Table Mountain, overlooking Cape Town, South Africa.
The peninsula was once an island, but about sixty million years ago it was joined
to the mainland by the emergence from the sea of the sandy area now known as the
Cape Flats. The towns and villages of the Cape Peninsula now form part of greater
Cape Town.
The Cape of Good Hope is sometimes given as the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean
and Indian Ocean. However, according to the International Hydrographic Organization
agreement that defines the ocean boundaries, the meeting point is at Cape Agulhas,
about 200 km (120 mi) to the southeast. [2
