Old railway line discovered under sand in Fish Hoek Beach, Cape Town

Posted on 1 February 2022 By Taylah Strauss

After decades of lying dormant, an old railway line was unearthed on Fish Hoek Beach on January 31. This discovery comes barely two weeks after Cape Town’s famous Antipolis shipwreck washed ashore near the 12 Apostles Hotel.

UPDATE: Fish Hoek ‘railway line’ actually revetment remains, says City of Cape Town

Cape Town’s Historical Society is expected to make an appearance at the old railway line. Photographer Nigel Riley was on the scene and managed to capture these stunning photos.
