St Francis Bay is perhaps the Eastern Cape's "best kept secret".

First sighted in 1575 by Portuguese sailors who named it after their patron saint, St Francis Bay is a mere one hour's drive from Port Elizabeth

This tranquil village with its meandering waterways, picturesque thatched houses, abundant birdlife and miles of golden beaches is the perfect spot to just break-away!

A unique eco-destination, mild year-round temperatures and the longest sunshine hours on the South African coast make it a sought-after destination for the discerning travellers.
