St Francis Bay
St Francis Bay is unique in South Africa. The visual delight of the charming thatched architecture, the picturesque serenity of the seven kilometer residential marine known as 'the Canals', the outstanding beauty of the navigable Kromme River and estuary contribute towards the magnificent up-market village.
Port St Francis is an exclusive residential harbor resort village situated in St Francis Bay - the Gateway to the Garden Route. Accompanying the magnificent views, position and spectacular Mediterranean architecture is a lifestyle to match. Port St Francis is exclusive and luxurious, but at the same time it is vibrant and exciting.
Port St Francis is the only national privately owned harbor of its kind, where chokka fleets berth on one side of the harbor whilst sleek catamarans gleam white and reflect on blue waters on the other side.
One can spend many leisurely hours on the gently sloping beach which stretches for kilometers all along the curve of the land to the estuary. Work on a perfect tan, watch the hobie-cats racing the bay, or take a stroll, searching for special shells for which the area is renowned. Or if you want to be active then you can take a horse for an exhilarating gallop through the surf in the early morning.
Cape St Francis, with its historic lighthouse, is a tranquil eco-desintation. The pristine beach, the mild temperature and the longest sunshine hours on the South African Coast ensure a relaxed all year round destination.
The Cape Coastal Floral Kingdom, known as 'Fynbos', proliferate in our four nature reserves. A quiet stroll provides exciting glimpses of a grysbok, Cape clawless otter, mongoose, duiker and a wealth of indigenous plants, many of them endemic to this area. Watching the whales wallow in the waves is a touching experience. The Bay of Cape St Francis is the breeding are for the whale sharks and Seal Point abounds with Cape fur seals. Bottlenose dolphins patrol the wide beach between these two points.
Explore the canals by boat, venture on to the Kromme River, experience the 18 hole links-style golf course, bowls, tennis, squash, surf the 'Endless Summer', charter a fishing vessel or fish directly from the rocks. Whatever your preferred activity, you'll be able to do it here!
This area is the ideal base camp enabling you to visit all the surrounding attractions. Experience it, its charm, and you will want to return again and again!
