 St Francis Bay is a place of compelling beauty,
unlike any in South Africa. Only an hour from Port Elizabeth, it is a
visual delight of charming white thatched cottages, spectacular
beaches and tranquil beauty of the residential marine known as the
canals.
 Its landscapes are a technicolour dreamscape of
swirling golden dunes and turquoise waters, mirages and shimmering
canals. It offers an astounding variety and abundance of wildlife and
a landscape that provides a breathtaking backdrop for it. Its coastal
region is one of the world’s most captivating areas.
Its wide horizons, clear blue skies and an incredibly low density of
population generate a sense of freedom. Its stillness, combined with a
landscape full of contrasts of light and shade make it a beautiful and
unusual destination.
 About half of St Francis is constructed around the largest man made
web of canals and waterways in Africa. The Kromme River famous for the
beautiful wild flowers that bloom along its banks, meanders up to the
ocean, providing a paradise for anglers, windsurfers and boaters.

the bay are world famous for their perfect surfing waves and ideally
suited to almost any type of water sport. In addition, it’s a ten
minute drive to
Jeffrey’s Bay, one of the world’s best surfing spots, where events
like the Billabong Challenge are held every year.
Hiking and biking enthusiasts can lose
themselves in the natural beauty of the area with superb trails in the
nature reserve, along the dune river system or the vast white beaches.
