Arniston is a small seaside settlement in the Overberg region on the Cape South coast, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa.

The town has two official names. Arniston refers to a British ship that sank here in 1815. Of the 378 passengers on board, only six survived. The other name is Waenhuiskrans and this refers to a cave that can be accessed at low tide. According to legend, the cave was used to house oxen and wagons by early settlers.
