The Eastern Cape is one of the provinces of South Africa. Its capital is Bhisho, but its two largest cities are East London and Gqeberha.

With miles of pristine beaches, secluded lagoons, rocky coves and cliffs, the Eastern Cape’s most important natural feature is its spectacular coastline and main tourist attraction. The Eastern Cape is also well-known for its sandy beaches which stretch for miles along the coast.

Eastern Cape is one of the coldest regions in South Africa with an average daily high temperature of only 24 degrees centigrade. In 7 months the average temperatures are over 25 degrees. Pleasant water temperatures of up to 22 degrees even invite you to take a bath in the warm season.
