One Ocean, One World
Greetings!
I recently came across a post on Facebook that made me shake my head. It featured an image, claiming to show “where two oceans meet”.
Fake!
Do I laugh or cry?

Do people share these things just for clickbait?
It wasn’t even Cape Agulhas, as the writer claimed.
It reminded me of some tour guides at Cape Point back in the day. They’d stand on the cliffs, point to a faint current line in the water, and say, “That’s where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet”. Romantic, right? But nonsense. A story told for dramatic effect.
The truth? There’s no visible border between the oceans. It’s all one vast, moving body of water. The sea doesn’t care about the names we give it.

Take a look at this map—how fish, dolphins, and whales might see the world. No borders. No Atlantic. No Indian. No Pacific. Just one interconnected ocean surrounding us all.
Cape Point, though, is a magical place. I’ve captured so many photos and memories there over the years.
One morning stands out—a rare wind-free Father’s Day at the very tip of Cape Point. We watched the sunrise spill over False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s such a rare sight. Most of the year, the sunrise comes too early, and the gates to the reserve don’t open in time. Even when they do, the wind usually makes sure you don’t linger too long.
That day, though, everything aligned—the late sunrise, the open gates, and no wind.
It made the morning unforgettable.

Another memory from Cape Point takes me back to the strange days of the COVID lockdown, when beaches were off-limits. We visited the reserve and “stole” a swim at one of its secluded beaches. Freezing cold. Absolutely beautiful.

I could go on forever about Cape Point and the photo opportunities it offers—from the dramatic cliffs to hidden tidal pool gems. It’s truly a photographer’s paradise.
Let me end this with a photo of one of our favourite spots along the False Bay coast.
Until next time,
Stephen
