Cape of Good Hope

Peninsula Week Post #1

Being notorious as a dangerous peninsula for sailors and explorers to sail near, the Cape of Good Hope is a peninsula (land surrounded by water on three sides) in SOUTH AFRICA. It juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and is at the tip of the more generalized Cape Peninsula. The name of this peninsula is self-evident that seafarers need hope and luck to battle with oftentimes choppy waves and other obstacles! Valsbaai (False Bay) is to the right of Cape of Good Hope and left of Kaap Hangklip, another peninsula. South Africa's legislative capital, Cape Town, and communities like Grassy Park, Simonstown, and Vishoek are north of Cape of Good Hope.
