Accommodation Eastern Cape Wild Coast

Eastern Cape Wild Coast Information

The Wild Coast originally known as 'Transkei' stretches from the Kei River in the south to the Mthamvuma River, Includes the Wild Coast region today.

The Transkei is so far off the beaten tourist track that it has remained relatively untouched and unspoilt. Apart from the larger towns of Port St Johns and Coffee Bay, most settlements north of the Kei River are made up of only a handful of fisherman's cottages, with accommodation in the form of lone backpackers. Scenically, the Transkei is at its best on the coast, the roads to which lead through unforgettable scenery that offers interesting glimpses into the way of life of the Transkei people. It is a place of spirit and adventure; of rugged coastline rich in diversity and wilderness, beautiful sandy beaches broken by rocky headlands.

The Wild Coast is well known for its magnificent hiking trails, including the legendary "Strandloper Trail", which begins near Kei Mouth and passes through Morgan Bay, Haga Haga and the Jikeleza Route villages, before terminating at Gonubie .Famous landmarks include "the Gates" at Port St Johns, Hole in the Wall, Magwa Falls, Waterfall Bluff, the Jacaranda shipwreck, Nongqawuse's pools, the Morgan Bay cliffs and bead beach at Double Mouth, where it is thought the Santo Espirito floundered in 1608. It's the perfect place to do a little treasure hunting for Ming porcelain and Carnelian beads.
