Cape Columbine

Cape Columbine is a prominent rocky headland in the Western Cape, South Africa, that juts out into the South Atlantic Ocean. It is the most westerly point of the province, and is situated some 30 km from Vredenburg, and 170 km by road from Cape Town. It is enclosed in the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve of 263 hectares, which is situated on the stretch of coastline between St Helena Bay to the northeast and Saldanha Bay to the south, and various smaller inlets along the rugged seaboard. The neareast village is Paternoster. The nature reserve and its faclities are managed by the Saldanha Bay Municipality. It is a popular spot for hiking, camping, birdwatching and enjoyment of coastal scenery.
