Hout Bay (Afrikaans: Houtbaai, meaning "Wood Bay") is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa situated in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometres south of the Central Business District of Cape Town.

3. It is known for its spectacular scenery. It was originally named the Cape of Storms by Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias in 1488. It was later renamed, by King John II of Portugal, the Cape of Good Hope because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East.

4. The original lighthouse was built in 1859 on Da Gama Peak, the summit of Cape Point, 238m above sea level. This made it very ineffective in mist which mandated the establishment of the second lighthouse at 87 meters. The newer lighthouse, built in 1914, is the most powerful on the South African coast.

About Le Cap

Le Cap s'étire entre la montagne de la Table et la mer : plages, vignobles, manchots et histoire, près de la pointe sud-ouest de l'Afrique.

Le sommet plat de la montagne de la Table domine tout, accessible par téléphérique ou par des sentiers de randonnée, flanqué de Lion's Head et de Signal Hill. En contrebas, le V&A Waterfront s'agite autour du port en activité, et des bateaux en partent pour Robben Island, où Nelson Mandela fut détenu pendant dix-huit ans. Les maisons colorées de Bo-Kaap grimpent sur les pentes au-dessus du centre-ville et du Company's Garden.
