Wild Coast

George Beveridge and Cyril Edmonds from Port Shepstone spent a great week at Hole in the Wall relaxing and fishing .
We stayed at Hole in the wall Hotel and used my QVC points to book a 8 sleeper self catering cottage .

Many a day was spent just watching the view and fishing early mornings off the numerous fishing spots .

Chad catches were plenty and Crayfish breakfast was great .
We visited the numerous pubs in the area . Great places to visit . Ocean View Hotel , Coffee Bay Hotel , White Clay and Raptors view . Not forgetting the many games of Pool played at the Hole In The Wall Hotel Pub . I think I am still the champ for the week .

Self- catering Holiday Cottages available.
Sleeps 1 to 27 people.

Fishing

The Wild Coast has long been a popular destination for sport fishermen. Shore angling from the rocky coastline rewards the angler with catches of Garrick, kob, steenbras, shad, Kingfish, galjoen and hottentot. The boat anglers fishing from surf –launched ski boats have a chance at yellowtail, tuna, yellowfin, swordfish, mackerel, marlin, sailfish, barracuda, cob and queen fish.

The sardine run

Every year in winter, vast shoals of sardines that have spawned in the waters of Antarctica travel the cold-water currents south of the East Coast of South Africa. Sometimes a combination of wind and current will allow a tongue of cold water to intrude into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean – and then millions upon millions of sardines come close enough to be seen from shore or even washed up on the beach. This phenomenon, which occurs no- where else on earth, can be witnessed from the beaches of the Wild Coast – if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time.
