Sunshine Coast Accommodation

Why you might choose to stay on the Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast is an apt description of a coastal belt beset with countless little villages, each offering access to beaches, rivers, lagoons and hiking trails that stretches between the Tsitsikamma and East London in the Eastern Cape. Did you know? Once you've booked your hotel or Sunshine Coast accommodation, explore the towns and destination pages below for info on the many beaches, attractions and things to do when you explore the Sunshine Coast. As a destination the Sunshine Coast has had to do little to attract visitors. Its obviously glorious weather, the seaside-resorts of Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred - considered the heart of this stretch of coastline - St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Jeffreys Bay and their access to warm waters, water sports, eco-walks, friendly locals, sheltered coves, rock pools and nature reserves, makes its attraction blatantly obvious. Add to this the inland malaria-free ‘Big Five' access on local game farms, and easy access to the Great Fish River, the Wild Coast and the Addo Elephant Park, and it is easy to understand why so many Capetonians head this way during their rather wet winters, and the rest of the country, as well as visitors to the Eastern Cape, make this their playground. Did you know? As its name suggests the Sunshine Coast that stretches from the Tsitsikamma Mountains to East London is a series of coastal villages, rivers, lakes, lagoons and surfing and swimming beaches that gets the most sunshine in the country – 320 days out of 365. A major reason for heading for the Sunshine Coast is that despite its obvious attraction, it remains largely unspoiled and, for the most part, uncommercialised.

A number of places around the world are called the Sunshine Coast - Queensland in Australia, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand; even Essex in the UK - but none of them manage to retain the quintessential sun-drenched essence without losing any of their quaintness quite the way the Sunshine Coast in the Eastern Cape does.
