Gonubie Beach walk on the wild side – tread the sandy routes and rocky footpaths of the Khoikhoi and shipwreck castaways.
The five-day Strandloper Trail treats hikers to a subtropical carefree meander through incredibly scenic rocky shores, sandy beaches, grasslands and coastal scrubland. Starting at the Strandloper Ecotourism Centre at Cape Morgan, the southbound paths eventually reach Gonubie on the last day.
Endless wave-washed seascapes, interesting tidal pools, unspoiled river estuaries, cool forests and golden sand dunes characterise this varied route. Some sections of the trail offer lovely snorkelling in the gullies.
Hungry hikers can grab a hearty pub meal and drink at various hotels and pubs along the way. Overnight huts all have ablution facilities. There are also braai facilities with the exception of the Cape Henderson hut where no fires are allowed.

Morgan Bay (60 km from East London) There’s something to be said for slackpacking on the Wild Coast without having to give up your creature comforts.
This guided hiking trail covers 56 kilometres of the southern Wild Coast with comfy overnight stops at seaside hotels. The terrain is not difficult and you can even hire porters to carry your pack. The greatest attraction is the magnificence of the natural surroundings and its remoteness.
Each night is spent in one of the well-known coastal resorts, known for warm hospitality and lovely locations. Guides and porters from the local Xhosa communities walk with hikers every day, sharing their local expertise, customs and culture with you.
Starting at Kob Inn, the ‘hotel on the rocks’, the meander eventually reaches Morgan Bay after four days of lovely beach, forest, river and estuary explorations with optional boat and canoe trips thrown in. You'll love every minute!
