At St Francis there are lots of canals and the houses are built close to the water with private jettys. Most canals are narrower than this one. This picture was taken from a very good Greek restaurant (can't remember the name though!). Leave a Comment

The bay is huge and great for beachwalks. The sea (atlantic) can sometimes be very cold so it is not always suitable for swimming. December is the main month that South Africans go on holiday so it can get very busy at this time. Leave a Comment

We visited Tsitsikamma Park when we did the garden route from Plettenberg Bay to Port Elizabeth. We were lucky that we could do the walk between the rain showers.
When you only have a few hours or less time do the walk towards the suspension bridge over the Storm River. It's a good chance to stretch your legs and the landscapes are good.
The trail starts just behind the restaurant and the first thing you see is a small waterfall coming down from the rocks. And from there on the track starts. Most of it is on a wooden log floor.
During the trail you get some glimpse of the suspension bridge and when you arrive at this bridge, you probably can see why they call this the Storm River.
When you want to know more, see my Tsitsikamma Nasionale Park travelogue: A short walk towards the suspension bridge
But there is also the option to book accommodation or go on a 5 day hike, for more details for these and other activities check their website.
