The Slangkop Lighthouse, located near Kommetjie on South Africa’s Cape
Peninsula, is the tallest cast-iron lighthouse in the country, standing 33 meters
high. First lit in 1919, it continues to guide vessels along the treacherous Atlantic
coastline. Its name means “Snake Head” in Afrikaans, referencing the nearby
headland. With sweeping ocean views and a dramatic setting, it’s a favourite spot
for photographers, hikers, and maritime history enthusiasts.
