19 Backpackers in Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast

About Sunshine Coast

South Africa's Sunshine Coast is an apt description for the coastal belt beset with countless little villages –  each offering stunning beaches, rivers, lagoons and hiking trails – that stretch between Tsitsikamma and East London in the Eastern Cape province. A number of places around the world are called the Sunshine Coast, but none of them manage to retain the quintessential sun-drenched essence without losing any of their quaintness the way South Africa's Sunshine Coast does. A major reason for heading to the Sunshine Coast is that despite its obvious attraction, it remains largely unspoiled and non-commercialised. This stretch of coast is one of the country's most popular holiday regions and best to be avoided during the school holidays, particularly around Christmas and Easter. There is plenty of accommodation for visitors in stunning seaside-resorts like Kenton-on-Sea, Port Alfred, Cape St Francis and Jeffreys Bay. Here you'll find access to warm waters, plenty of activities like surfing, swimming and scuba diving, eco-walks, friendly locals, sheltered coves, rock pools and nature reserves. Inland you'll have the luxury of numerous game farms, and easy access to the Great Fish River, the Wild Coast and the Addo Elephant Park. It is easy to understand why South Africa's Sunshine Coast is the playground for nature lovers and beach bums alike.
