More town in Eastern Cape

A forested Amatola mountain village — mist, waterfalls, and the supposed inspiration for Tolkien's Middle-earth.
Jeffreys Bay
South Africa's surf town — the world-famous right-hand point break at Supertubes and a laid-back beach culture.
Kenton-on-Sea
A holiday village between two rivers on the Sunshine Coast — beaches, Kariega Game Reserve upriver, and a family base.

A tiny Karoo village with an owl house, no petrol station, and an atmosphere you can't fake.
St Francis Bay
A white-walled canal-and-beach village near Jeffreys Bay — surf, a canal estate, and a calmer Eastern Cape coast base.
