The Wild Coast in Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Coffee Bay and the Hole in the Wall are virtually synonymous. The village of Coffee Bay is real beachcomber country with rustic lodges and bars, gorgeous swimming beaches, excellent fishing and breathtaking hikes. The surrounding countryside is rugged with high cliffs and peppered with distinctive round, thatched, traditional huts. 

Mthatha and surrounds is home to Many of South Africa's black leaders — including Walter Sisulu and Nelson Mandela. Mthatha is also home to one of the three Nelson Mandela Museums. Around Mthatha you can visit the spectacular Tsitsa Falls, the Langeni Pass (this is South Africa’s most expensive pass build per kilometre to date), the beautiful Tutor Ndamase Pass or head to one of the best kept secrets of the Wild Coast, the Hluleka Nature Reserve.

Port St Johns is a captivating, easy-going place where formal dress is unknown. The majestic Umzimvubu River flows and reaches the sea in a setting of tremendous cliffs densely covered in sub-tropical forest.  Port St Johns is a nature lovers’ paradise with over 250 species of birds, including the rare and nearly extinct Cape Parrot. During winter, the Annual Sardine Run receives global attention.

Wild Coast Sun & Casino (Port Edward) is a coastal resort and fun, intimate, home-from-home gaming destination that takes care of the whole family. The Wild Coast Sun has emerged as one of the preferred golfing destinations in South Africa. Among the wide variety of activities that draw the Wild Coast Sun’s broader market are water-sports, golf, gaming in the awesome casino, beach activities and fishing by arrangement.
