Village in Western Cape, South Africa
Arniston
Arniston, also known as Waenhuiskrans, is a small seaside settlement on the coast of the Overberg region of South Africa, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa.
Prior to the wreck of the ship Arniston, the area was known as Waenhuiskrans, an Afrikaans name meaning "wagon-house cliff", referring to a local sea cave large enough to accommodate a wagon and a span of oxen. Over time, the shipwreck's name became synonymous with the settlement and today Arniston and Waenhuiskrans are used interchangeably.
