St Francis Bay

The picturesque holiday town of St Francis Bay, where whitewash and thatch lie alongside Sardinian-style red tile roofs, sits among beautiful green-clad dunes.

Approximately half of the town is constructed around the largest man made web of canals and waterways in Africa. The Kromme River, noted for the wild flowers growing along its banks, winds its way to the ocean and provides a paradise for anglers, canoeists, windsurfers and boaters.

A nature lover could lose himself in the natural beauty of the area, with superb hiking and biking trails in the nature reserve, along the dune river system or the vast white beaches.

Bird life is abundant in the St Francis Bay area. The waters of the bay are world-famous for their perfect surfing waves and are ideally suited to almost any type of water-sport. Dolphins and whales certainly seem to think so; they play in the water alongside the surfers.

St Francis Bay also boasts some of the finest rock and surf angling along the east coast. Adjacent to St Francis Bay is the rustic fishing village of Cape St Francis, with its beautiful beach and historic lighthouse.
