Explore a whole new world of wonder

Activities around Cape Recife Lighthouse are just a taste of what the Eastern Cape offers. With its mild climate, renowned beauty, and natural biodiversity, the region is an outstanding destination rich with potential. Some 15 kilometres south of the pretty coastal city of Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), at the southern point of Algoa Bay, is the 366 ha (900 acre) Cape Recife Nature Reserve, proclaimed in 1973. Untouched and little-known, the Reserve is an extraordinarily beautiful and elemental stretch of wild coastal space.
