Highlights

Site Highlights

At low tide, large slabs of symmetrical black rock become exposed and if the low tide is timed to coincide with dusk or dawn, excellent opportunities exist for landscape photography. The small estuary that lies close to the campsite is another excellent landscape photographic location.

Butterflies and forest birds may be photographed within the canopy from the decks of the cleverly placed chalets that overlook the dense forest. Hiking towards the Cwebe section of the park also provides a plethora of photographic opportunities with vast vistas of the coastline possible from the high points.
