One can spend many leisurely hours on the gentle sloping beach which stretches for kilometres all along the curve of the land to the estuary. Work on a perfect tan, watch the hobie-cats racing the bay, or take a stroll, searching for special shells for which the area is renowned. Or how about an exhilarating gallop through the surf in the early morning?

The Port

Forget the big city waterfront crowds... The commercial harbour of Port St Francis, built in 1995, has always held a unique charm because of both its size and the constant activity. Port St Francis is the only national privately owned harbour of its kind, where chokka fleets berth on one side of the harbour while sleek catamarans gleam white and reflect on blue waters.

Comfortable Mediterranean style, one to three bedroomed self contained apartments area set around a pleasant garden, some on the oceanfront. Luxury villas in Main Royal and Port Island are stunningly situated with views of the harbour and ocean. A private beach and swimming pool provide safe swimming.

Also, no visit to the Port would be complete without stopping in at one of the fine restaurants to sample the succulent calamari dishes the drive the lucrative chokka industry.

In addition to entertainment and industry, the Port also provides anchorage for pleasure craft and ocean going yachts.

The Cape

Cape St Francis has the most beautifully pristine beach. A symmetrical curving stretch of beach of gleaming sand in the lee of rolling dunes. The beach leads your eyes to the lighthouse, built in 1878, which warns ships of the dangerous reefs that stretch more then a kilometre out to sea. Viewed from the sky, the lighthouse stands on a promontory - thundering waves splashing white foam ribbons on the huge coastal boulders.

With 34 well appointed cottages, Cape St Francis Resort features a superb seafood restaurant, swimming pool, tennis and volleyball courts and a cosy fireside pub to relax in. The conference centre caters for a variety of functions both corporate and leisure. Fifteen kilometres west lies Oyster Bay, a hamlet jealously nurtured by the inhabitants. It is possible to walk the rugged coast line to Oyster Bayand to arrive at the most welcoming beach where the only foot prints may be yours.
