Sir Frances Drake, the first sailor to circumnavigate the world, described it as "the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth".

Enormous sea cliffs tower above the battering ocean, whipped by fierce winds that whisk hats from view-bedazzled tourists. On the west side the shore is littered with shipwrecks, testimony to the notoriously treacherous waters around here.
