This relaxed coastal village is a popular hub for surfers and backpackers, serving as an ideal starting point to explore the iconic 'Hole in the Wall' and the surrounding Xhosa culture.
Port St. Johns
Port St. Johns, nestled on South Africa's picturesque Wild Coast, welcomes you with a unique blend of untamed nature and a laid-back atmosphere. The town spreads out at the mouth of the Umzimvubu River, flanked by the distinctive cliffs known as the "Two Sisters," offering a breathtaking sight. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the authentic life of the Xhosa culture and find tranquility away from the usual tourist trails. Popular activities include boat trips on the river, hikes to hidden waterfalls in the hinterland, or relaxing hours on the expansive, pristine beaches. Originally an important trading post, Port St. Johns has retained its authentic charm. For the best birdwatching at the river mouth, an early morning visit is recommended, while the quietest travel period is outside the South African school holidays.
