Port St Francis is definitely worth a visit. It is just 3km away – an authentic working harbour for calamari fishing fleets.  The harbor also moors high-class recreational yachts and is home to a few resident otters.

Deep-sea fishing trips are available on request. Surf lessons, board hire, safe private swimming beaches, wonderful hiking, running and mountain bike trails all await. The village offers championship golf courses, tennis courts and squash courts.

Cape St Francis Lighthouse can be found just 3km away and is a great way to view the area.  The Lighthouse has an impressive 156 steps to the top where the 2.75 million candle-power light helps keep our seafarers safe. It is also the highest masonry tower on the Southern African coast.  If the tide is just right you might just witness the thrilling wave-driven blowhole on the “wild side”.
