“The beautiful Cape St.Blaize Lighthouse The Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse is located in Mossel Bay, South Africa, overlooking the Indian Ocean. It was first lit in 1864 and remains one of the few lighthouses in the country that is still manned. The lighthouse is situated on a rocky promontory, offering stunning views of the coastline and the ocean. Visitors can take a tour of the lighthouse, which includes climbing to the top for panoramic views. Nearby, there is a trail called the Cape St. Blaize Cave Hiking Trail, which follows the cliffs and offers breathtaking scenery. It’s also a popular spot for whale watching, especially during the migration season. (DRONE FANATICS SA)” - Chris Smit, 2024/10/13

“Cape St. Blaize Caves are located beneath the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse, this cave is an important archaeological site, too, with artifacts found dating back to the Stone Age. The cave is open to the public and provides a beautiful view over the ocean. It's also a popular stop along the Cape St. Blaize hiking trail. (From Drone Fanatics SA)” - Chris Smit, 2024/09/30
