Cape Farewell
New Zealand
Cape Farewell is a headland in New Zealand, the most northerly point on the South Island. It is located just west of Farewell Spit (Onetahua). First mapped by Abel Tasman based on his encounter in 1642, it was later named by British explorer Captain James Cook during his voyage of exploration in 1770 – it was the last land seen by his crew as they departed the vicinity of New Zealand. Owing to its remote location it is one of the less visited of New Zealand's major capes. The "Clifftop walk" (2–3 hours one-way along the heights of the coast east of the cape) joins the area with the beginning of Farewell Spit, and has stunning vistas of the Tasman Sea to one side, of the sand dunes in the northeast, and of the towering cliffs and rocky, primal landscapes to the shoreward (east) side. The cape is flanked to the west by Wharariki Beach and the Archway Islands.
