Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast is an apt
description of a coastal belt beset with countless little villages, each
offering access to beaches, rivers, lagoons and hiking trails that stretches
between the Tsitsikamma and East London. As a destination the Sunshine Coast has
had to do little to attract visitors. Its obviously glorious weather, the
seaside-resorts of Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred - considered the heart of this
stretch of coastline - 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, makes its attraction blatantly obvious.
Add to this the inland malaria-free ‘Big Five’ access on local game farms, and
easy access to the Great Fish River, the Wild Coast and the Addo Elephant Park,
and it is easy to understand why so many Capetonians head this way during their
rather wet winters, and the rest of the country, as well as visitors to the
Eastern Cape, make this their playground.
A major reason for heading for the Sunshine Coast is that despite its obvious
attraction, it remains largely unspoiled and, for the most part,
uncommercialised. A number of places around the world are called the Sunshine
Coast - Queensland in Australia, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand; even Essex in the
UK - but none of them manage to retain the quintessential sun-drenched essence
without losing any of their quaintness the way the Sunshine Coast in the Eastern
Cape does.
