Sardinia Bay
A pristine bay on the city's southwestern edge, where towering dunes meet a long beach. It lies within a marine protected area and is ideal for hiking and diving.
Sardinia Bay lies about 20 km southwest of Gqeberha. It is undeveloped, and its towering white dunes run straight into a long sandy beach and blue-green water. The bay is part of the Sardinia Bay Marine Protected Area, where snorkelling and scuba diving reveal rich reef life. You can climb over the dunes from the car park to reach the shore, then follow the coastal path west to the Bushbuck Trail. The waves are strong and the currents swift, and there are no lifeguards, so swimming is not recommended. There are no shops at the beach, so bring your own water and food, and do not leave valuables in your car.
