Sundays River Mouth Beach is a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature, a place where the freshwater of the Sundays River dramatically merges with the vastness of the Indian Ocean. The result is an expansive, broad sandy beach, often less crowded than its city counterparts, offering ample space for all manner of activities. The most striking features are the towering, golden dunes that frame the beach, inviting adventurous spirits to climb their peaks for panoramic views.
“Its expansive sands and towering dunes at the confluence of the Sundays River and the Indian Ocean create a unique, dynamic landscape perfect for both relaxation and adventure.”

This beach is a haven for families and those seeking a more rugged, natural coastal experience. Children delight in exploring the shifting sands and the calmer, shallower waters near the river mouth. The unique ecosystem at the confluence of river and sea supports diverse birdlife, making it a quiet spot for birdwatching enthusiasts. The air is fresh, carrying the scent of salt and river reeds, a distinct aroma that speaks of its unique geography.
As the day draws to a close, Sundays River Mouth Beach transforms into a canvas for spectacular sunsets. The wide-open sky allows for an unobstructed view as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the clouds in fiery oranges and soft purples, reflecting off the water's surface. It’s a place where memories of wide-open spaces and natural beauty are etched, offering a refreshing escape from the everyday and a true taste of the Eastern Cape's wild coast.
