The Sunshine Coast, South Africa:
The Sunshine Coast is the coastal route between St Francis
Bay and East London in the Eastern Cape, South
Africa. The Sunshine Coast incorporates more then a million hectares of malaria free
game reserve, and, this is one route that deserves its name. Stretching from Port
Elizabeth in the west to East London in the east, it boasts hundreds of kilometres of shining
beaches that bask in sunshine. Port
Elizabeth, offering diverse leisure options from water-sports to township tours, from
vibrant nightlife to nature trails, is an excellent base from which to explore the
coastline and the interior.
The Sunday's River Valley, a major fruit producing area, is also worth seeing. The Addo Elephant
National Park, home to rhino,
Cape buffalo and antelope
as well as elephant, is
undergoing an exciting enlargement programme. |
