Sunshine Coast

Eastern Cape Attractions

The Sunshine Coast, in the Ndlambe region, stretches along Route 72 from Port Elizabeth in the west to East London in the east. The area is full of history, culture, glorious flora, fantastic malaria-free game reserves and wonderful beaches. The endless blue skies and long sun-filled days provide superb conditions to view the many attractions designed to suit everyone’s needs and budget.

The perfect weather and seaside-resorts of Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred, and Bushmans River Mouth - considered the heart of this stretch of coastline along with St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Jeffreys Bay and their access to warm waters, water sports, eco-walks, friendly locals, sheltered coves, rock pools and nature reserves, make the Sunshine Coast a must-do destination for all holiday makers.

Described by many as the “angler’s delight” the area from Sundays River to the Great Fish River provides an abundance of opportunities for the expert and the novice fishermen amongst you.

The Sunshine Coast is a very popular holiday destination with cities like Port Elizabeth, known as the “friendly city”, offering superb water sports and is also home to the famous Iron Man South Africa Triathlon.

Although you will find other places around the world called the Sunshine Coast (Queensland in Australia, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand) this largely unspoiled area and predominant lack of commercialisation ensure the Sunshine Coast in the Eastern Cape maintains a quaintness you will not find anywhere else.
