The Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape is a long stretch of wide beaches that are some of the finest in the world. These beaches are bordered by high dunes where terrestrial vegetation begins to make a foothold and are filled with a unique ecosystem of their own. These beaches are punctuated by broad tidal estuaries along which coastal resorts have sprung. About ten kilometers from Cape Padrone, where the African continent begins its northwards course to the tropics, are the estuaries of the Bushmans River and the Kariega River, lying in close proximity to each other. On this peninsular is the resort town of Kenton-on-Sea, an increasingly popular holiday destination. Kenton has some splendid beaches not only on the seashore but also the two rivers where sailing fishing and waterskiing is popular. Inland there are a number of game reserves in the rolling country side. The primary vegetation in these reserves is the Eastern Cape Thicket which has a carrying capacity for wildlife that exceeds most other vegetation types.
