EASTERN CAPE

Coffee Bay & Hole in the Wall

NATURE

The iconic stop on the Wild Coast

Coffee Bay is one of the best-known gateways to the Wild Coast, with rolling green hills dropping dramatically to the sea. The nearby Hole in the Wall rock formation is the area's signature landmark, reached by a scenic hike or local transfer. The region remains less developed than South Africa's major coastal resorts, which is exactly why many travelers love it.
