St Francis Bay tourist information
The picturesque holiday village of St Francis Bay lies nestled among the green clad dunes lining the beautiful Bay of St Francis. Dolphins and whales play along the shoreline while the sounds of gulls echo lazily overhead.
The Kromme River, navigable for 10 km, twists and winds its tranquil way down to a magnificent marina where the gracious white walled thatched homes are reflected in the quiet water of the canals.
The Bay - a magnificent white, gently sloping beach provides safe bathing as well as some of the finest rock and surf angling on the East Coast. The bay itself is world famous for its waves and is frequented by surfers from all over South Africa and overseas. This coastal holiday resort town is situated 90 km west of Port Elizabeth alongside the Indian Ocean and 50 % of the town is constructed in and around the largest man made web of canals and waterways in Africa.
The area is known for its long safe sandy beaches, good surfing and rock fishing, pleasant walks and quiet lifestyle. The weather is temperate with warm, sunny and dry summers.
A Small Boat Harbour lies in a sheltered nook of the bay and provides a picturesque setting and safe anchorage for calamari boats, pleasure craft and ocean going yachts. Shops and a hotel will soon complete the development. An airport nearby caters for those who wish to fly.
