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]
