The tranquility

of Kenton

Famed for its unparalleled natural beauty

Kenton-on-Sea is a compact coastal town on the Eastern Cape’s Sunshine Coast. It lies between the Bushman’s and Kariega Rivers, looking out over the Indian Ocean. This beautiful setting gives the town its character, with river estuaries on either side and the coastline stretching in both directions.

This destination is known for its pristine Blue Flag beaches and miles of undisturbed coastline, as well as its proximity to Big Five game reserves. Just 40 minutes from Makhanda, with its historic landmarks and cultural events, Kenton offers a relaxed coastal base from which to explore the region.

Life in Kenton-on-Sea follows an unhurried rhythm, much like the wider Eastern Cape. The Sunshine Coast is known for its quiet atmosphere and welcoming community, and the town offers a glimpse of South Africa at its most relaxed and authentic.

For much of the year, the coastline remains peaceful, giving visitors space to enjoy its wide beaches and natural setting. During December and January, the summer season brings more energy, as holidaymakers arrive to enjoy the long days and warm weather that define this stretch of coast.
