St Francis Bay is built around a series of manmade canals and waterways, perfect for boating, swimming and other water sports. With a 4 km stretch of golden beaches, some of the best surfing in the world on offer and the Kromme River - navigable for about 10km upstream - St Francis Bay, on the Garden Route, is a beautiful place to spend a holiday.

The harbour village resort called Port St Francis, has added a note of luxury to the waterfront and leisure yachts and recreational fishing boats now line the port. Open-markets, restaurants and shops make this an exciting outing.
