Alexandria Dunefield (Woody Cape)
Alexandria Dunefield
One of the largest and most pristine active coastal dune fields in the Southern Hemisphere, part of the Woody Cape section of Addo Elephant National Park, where you can hike across the dunes to the sea.
The Alexandria Dunefield stretches about 50 km along the eastern shore of Algoa Bay. It is one of the largest and most untouched active coastal dune systems in the Southern Hemisphere, with dunes rising up to 100 m and the dense Alexandria Forest lying directly behind them. The Woody Cape camp has a two-day hiking trail, and there are shorter loop walks that reach the dunes and the coast, with views across the bay to Bird Island. Nearby, the Sundays River mouth offers canoeing and dune buggy rides. The site is about 110 km by road from Gqeberha and must be reached by car.
