        Not too far is relative. 25 km is a fairish distance on foot, but 2 hours in a plane is close. How many hours by what means of transport?

          Plane or Boat.

          About 1Hr by plane.

            Well, a little deduction. The iffy shoreline may mean that it is not the sea. There is only one large body of water that I can think of an hour's flight from Namibia, in a fast plane, other than the Atlantic. That is Kariba. However, the vegetation looks queer for this region, although they have had droughts in Zimbabwe.

              Bigger than a sea.

              I was being optimistic with 1H on a civil plane. It's on the other side anyway.

                False Bay near Cape Town?

                  Cape is right. Wrong country. Look further away.

                    Cape Horn?? An hour would indeed be optimistic, even in an SR71.

                      Forget the 1Hr thingy!

                      It's not on the mainland.

                          Wrong ocean. Think about warm places.

                          Warm, southern hemisphere, there's an ocean but not the Atlantic, not too (on the scale of the Earth, not your neighborhood) far from Namibia, Zimbabwe, etc. about the same latitude, and it's a cape we're looking for.
