With stunning cliffs and sandy beaches there's plenty to offer for those looking for a scenic stroll. The Hole in the Wall village is definitely worth a visit, with great snorkelling, swimming and plenty of spectacular walks and hikes in the area.

Getting There

It's quite a drive from any of the nearest cities, but it's obscurity is part of it's charm. It's only reachable by road, and many of the roads aren't paved, so it's a good six hour drive from Durban and even longer from Port Elizabeth.
