Welcome to St Francis


Hi, We are already doing the Port Elizabeth Daily photo blog, and since it is such fun, and we also spend a lot of time at St Francis, about 1 hour from PE, to the West. It consists of three main sections, spread across 2 bays and 2 points.
  • St Francis Bay is a little coastal village known for its pretty white cottages with thatched roofs. It includes shops and a small business centre, 2 golf courses, riverside plots and the canal system.
  • Further down towards Shark Point, Port St Francis was constructed, the basin blasted out of solid rock.
  • 5 km along the coast, at Seal Point, which boasts a lovely old masonary tower lighthouse, is the little village of Cape St Francis, which has a small sweeping bay with unspoiled beach to the East, and the "wild side" with waves crashing on a rocky coastline to the west of Seal Point.

    I wrote quite a detailed post last year on my personal blog, so if you want to know more about the area, you will find it here.
