The railway station where Anthony Loxton pondered his options in THE GOOd CEMETERY GUIDE is a real railway station which stands on the edge of the Indian ocean and is very much in use. If you stand on the Kalk Bay platform and look to the left you can see the false bay coastline all the way to Muizenberg where shark monitors are posted on a hill to warn swimmers if a curious white shark comes in too close, and if you look over to the right you can see Simonstown, a picturesque historical village that is home to a naval base and Boulders Beach where you can swim alongside African penguins.
