Escape to the picturesque village of St Francis Bay, situated along the Eastern Cape coast of southern Africa. This restful town is conveniently located within easy access of most Garden Route attractions, but with its long sandy beaches and relaxing vibe, you may not want to venture too far. Choose from a host of outdoor activities, including surfing the famous Bruce’s Beauties, kayaking the river Kromme, horse-riding along the dunes or simply sipping sundowners on the beach.
Golfers have several options with both the highly rated Jack Nicklaus course, St Francis Links and the St Francis Golf Club located within walking distance. Jeffrey's Bay and Humansdorp both have 9-hole courses and the new Zwartenbosch in Hankey can be reached in 20 minutes.
