Cape Agulhas or L'Agulhas is the southernmost coastal village and a holiday resort in Africa, located within the Cape Agulhas Municipal (CAM). The name "Agulhas", Portuguese for "needles", is said to have been given to the area because a strange magnetic anomaly occurs here where compasses point true North rather than magnetic North. This anomaly creates confusion and danger for passing ships when visibility is poor. About 250 vessels lost their way and got wrecked on the jagged rocks of Cape Agulhas. Some wrecked ships still lay scattered along the coast, many due to the treacherous Agulhas Reef. It is in memory of the countless lives lost and to warn passing ships of the pending danger of Cape Agulhas.
