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 stretch between the Tsitsikamma and East London in the Eastern Cape. The Sunshine Coast has had to do little to attract visitors as a destination. 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.
