St. Francis Bay is a tranquil coastal town with its characteristic architecture.
Only about one hour’s drive away from the airport of Port Elizabeth,
it is considered to be the getaway to the famous Garden Route.
On the one side there are the canals with their white houses with thatched
roofs. Then there is the beautiful Mediterranean area overlooking the
sea. And last but not least, on the other side, with its own charm, is
the port which is not only known for its squid fishing industry but it
is also a popular place to embark on deep-sea game fishing.
St. Francis Bay is also a paradise for water sport enthusiasts.
The beach does not only invite you to swim in the sea or in the lagoon
but it also has excellent surfing conditions.
During the whale season Southern Right whales enter the bay to mate and
calf making it a spot for shore-based whale watching. Miles and miles
of sandy beaches and white dunes line the ocean. The warm temperate climate
