KENTON ON SEA

This peaceful coastal resort lies between the Bushmans and Kariega Rivers and offers a wide range of activities. You can explore coves, lagoons, rivers and beaches. The twenty hectare Joan Muirhead Nature Reserve is close by and plays a very important part in the ecosystem of Kenton on Sea. This resort town has a temperate climate and large stretches of beach. Along the shore is an historic ‘Dias Cross’, erected five centuries ago by Bartholomew Diaz, the first Portuguese ocean explorer to sail along the eastern coast of South Africa. The area has a variety of plant and birdlife, including some century old cycads, which are one of the most primitive plants still surviving today. There are plenty of rock pools, excellent swimming, water sports and fishing. With easy access to all the scenic wonders the Eastern Cape has to offer, Kenton on Sea is a vacationer's paradise.
