Google satellite map question (South Africa)

Best guess: granite reef.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_Island,_South_Africa

Seal Island is a small land mass located 5.7 km off the northern beaches of False Bay, near Cape Town, in South Africa. The island is so named because of the great number of Cape Fur Seals that occupy it. There are a few sea birds as well. It is an outcrop of the Cape granite and rises no more than about six metres above the high tide mark. The island is long and narrow, 800 metre long and only 50 metre wide. There is no vegetation or soil of any significance.

The island and offshore reefs are granite of the Peninsula pluton, and have the familiar rounded look of other similar outcrops.
 
My mother in law wants to learn how to waterski, so I figured Seal Island was an exotic location, that is also affordable.
