At night ships had to approach closely to obtain bearings and thereby were exposed to the dangers of Bellows Rock and Albatross Rock nearby. The Cape Point Nature Reserve around the lighthouse is one of the most pristine and unspoiled places on earth. With its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, a unique fauna and flora, the reserve is truly a sight to behold.
