The BOS 400 Shipwreck, located near the Hout Bay suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, is an eerily beautiful sight. This French crane barge ran aground during a storm in 1994 and has remained rusting off the coast of Sandy Bay ever since. Explorers must trek out to the point to get close and admire its ghostly beauty. It is a unique and unseen spot, with a mysterious atmosphere and breath-taking views of the waters. Climbing onto the wreck is dangerous, so take caution when approaching. Don’t miss this chance to explore one of the world’s most hidden locations. It takes about 3 hours return to hike there.
