The beautiful shores of the Eastern Cape is aptly called the
‘Sunshine Coast’, so named for its long, sun-soaked days and warm seasons, is
not only favored by South Africans, but also by tourists from abroad.
The reason is not only the sun-drenched beaches, but also
because of its rural, mellow atmosphere, its superior swimming areas, surfing
and angling opportunities and its wealth of other outdoor-related activities.
The province has plenty hiking trails, tracking beautiful
mountains and valleys, and more than enough nature reserves offer great country
accommodation and abundant wildlife.
The former Ciskei, once the scene of nine frontier wars
between the Xhosas and the British, is now a tranquil holiday playground,
world-renowned for its superb scenic landscapes, ultra-modern coastal resorts
and tiny villages nestling at the feet of towering mountain ranges, such as the
Katberge, Amatola, Winterberge and Hogsback.
Beyond the Kei River mouth is the former Transkei. Here are
bronze beaches of the Wild Coast - a palm-fringed paradise where monkeys play
on the terraces of casino resorts and beautiful hotels.
