Cape Three Points is a small peninsula in the Western Region of Ghana, West Africa.
Forming the southernmost tip of Ghana, it is located between the coastal towns of Dixcove and Princes Town, Ghana. Cape Three Points is known as the "land nearest nowhere" because it is the land nearest a location in the sea which is at 0 latitude, 0 longitude and 0 altitude (the distance is about 570 km).
It is best known for its lighthouses, the first of which was constructed in 1875 by the British as a navigational aid for trading vessels sailing through the Gulf of Guinea. The original structure has since become a ruin, however, a larger and more improved lighthouse was completed in 1921, and is still functioning today.
