The Eastern Cape is strikingly varied in it's scenic beauty. It's landscape ranges from pristine forest to arid desert, from looming sandstone cliffs to unspoilt emerald green coastline.

There are various hiking trails that traverse the valleys and cliffs of the mountainous regions with breathtaking views. The Eastern Cape also has some of the finest displays of prehistoric art in the form of rock paintings.

The magnificent shimmering coastline offers splendid opportunities for fishing, swimming and sunbathing. Canoeing, rubber ducking and windsurfing are a few of the many water sport attractions while surfers, in search of the perfect wave, frequent the internationally known surfing spots.
