Location & Attractions

St Francis Bay, located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, is renowned for its striking white-walled, thatched-roof houses set along a network of man-made canals, often referred to as ‘Little Venice’, as well as its neighbouring Mediterranean-style suburb.

This picturesque coastal destination offers a laid-back holiday ambience, pristine beaches, and exceptional surfing conditions at nearby Seal Point. Visitors can enjoy two superb golf courses, explore local nature reserves that showcase rare plant and animal life, and visit the historic Seal Point Lighthouse. The bustling Port St Francis harbour adds to the charm, blending maritime activity with excellent dining options. It is a place where natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and architectural character come together in perfect harmony.
