I was wondering how far is the drive from cape town to CAPE AGULHAS? I was looking on the internet, but seemed to get confilicting answers. Also is it a pretty easy drive?

point to point is likely to take you somewhere around 3.5 hours. It is an easy drive, tarred road and so on. You might find getting through the Strand/Somerset West to be a little slow, however the coastal route is quite beautiful.

There are 2 routes, via the N2 highway should take just under 3hrs, via the coastal route agree about 3½ hours. I have visited at least 3 times via both routes. Would point out there is not a lot to do here but I like the mystic rugged coastline. There is a clear distinction where the colour of the water changes. If you have time take the coastal route.

I will never forget driving through the mountains when suddenly an eagle flew alongside the car.

Thats not too bad. I think that if i make the 17 horu flight to get to SA i can drive 3 hours to say i have been to the southernmost point of the African continenet!

You can spend the night. Pretty inexpensive.

You could also spend the night in Arniston. I thought it was really pretty and peaceful. I would have spent more time relaxing there.

We enjoyed driving along the coastal road, there's really not very much to do at Cape Agulhas, but it's a lovely spot. We were there late afternoon and watching the sun go down into the sea was a truly magical moment

geetika,
That does sound pretty great. a 3 hour drive is pretty short to make a great memory!

As above there are 2 routes you can take. Why not take a circular route and do the inland or the N2 route past the wheat fields there (220km) and then take the coastal route on the return (270km). It is possible to do the trip in a day but would be rushed unless you enjoy travelling for at least 6 - 7 hours in a car.
Recommended accommodation while in Agaulhas would be the Agulhas Backpackers, having stayed thee, I can recommend them and they have a variety of room options to choose from and the owners are friendly and staff helpful.
