Activities:
Fishing
The Island at Mazeppa Bay is a large headland feature separated from the shore
by a channel of shallow water. For many years, The Island has been famous for
its catches of big game fish and sharks. The gully separating The Island from
the mainland can also be fished for small pan fish. Garrick, kob and sharks can
also be caught from the rocks at both ends of The Island.
However, angling at Mazeppa is not limited to The Island. There are several good
spots along the shore, including Shark Point, Carlisle Gully and the Boiling
Pot. Here, the water is deep and good catches of game fish and sharks are often
made. You will need heavy tackle to fish these spots, and you are also
encouraged to exercise caution while fishing at these spots as they can be quite
dangerous.
Hiking
And if you want to walk, stroll along the aptly named Mile Beach, or venture
into the Manubi Forest. The Manubi Forest offers an interesting nature
experience for all nature lovers. There are walking trails through the Manubi
Forest with its distinctive Yellowwood and Sneezewood trees that dominate in the
forest. Enjoy a day of exploring the indigenous forest and do a bit of birding.
The Forest is home to an abundance of bird-and animal life and is a particular
delight for bird and plant lovers alike.
Mazeppa Bay First Beach
The area is particularly famous for fishing. First Beach is lined with palm
trees and has a 100 m suspension bridge which you can walk over to reach
Mazeppa's renowned island. The island is perfect for deep sea fishing with
stunning views of the coastline.
Mazeppa Bay Second Beach
Second Beach lies to the south of the lagoon and is within walking distance of
First Beach. It is great for taking a long walk by yourself and collecting an
amazing variety of shells. There are also massive sand dunes to explore and
stunning views of the coastline.
Mazeppa Bay has a registered boat launch off the beach, a 550-metre landing
strip for light aircraft and a helipad, and is two-and-a-half hours from East
London airport.
Take the road to your right marked Mazeppa Bay. You will go past SA Breweries and then the road becomes a gravel one for 60 km. Mazeppa Bay Hotel is at the end of this road. Turn left at the T-junction at Mazeppa - we're the second last cottage on the right. Hmmm, smell that sea air.
