Province:Eastern Cape
Region: Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast incorporates more then a million hectares of malaria free game reserve - so you hove more than a million reasons to visit.

This is one Route that deserves its name - stretching from Port Elizabeth in the west to East London in the east, it boosts hundreds of kilometres of shining beaches that bask in the highest number of sunshine hours on South Africa's coast.

But its not just beaches and nature reserves that make the Sunshine Coast - here
you'll find plenty of entertainment, history, culture and outdoor adventure. A museum that houses the world's only Dodo egg and the famous first coelacanth - 'Old Four Legs'(El) whose discovery near East London in 1938 catapulted South Africa into the front rank of the world's Ichthyological stage. The Grahamstown Festival - the country's oldest and largest annual celebration of the arts. 

Numerous golf courses. Every kind of water sport imaginable. Fishing, hiking, 4x4 trails and noise riding. Casinos and cinema complexes, theatres and opera houses and all the other attractions that you'd expect from a leading tourism destination.

With one unique difference -the Eastern Cape remains largely unspoiled and un-commercialized. So a holiday on the Sunshine Coast will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated - and with a renewed sense of people's basic goodness and friendliness.

Because, ultimately, that's the lasting impression you'll take home with you: the warmth and natural hospitality of out people will leave you feeling as though you've made a million new friends -here in the friendliest part of the South Africa.
