Geese taking a walk near Seagulls Beach Hotel, Wild Coast

These geese looked so happy and relaxed just taking an afternoon stroll, near Seagulls Beach Hotel, on the Wild Coast, not far from Kei Mouth.  We spent one night at Seagulls Beach Hotel in early 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and of course their divine Saturday night seafood, as well as meandering through the countryside - and all sorts of animals, not just geese - on the way there and back.

The beach between Glen Gariff and Glen Eden

Spending some time on the beaches in and near East London is a great idea for both visitors and locals alike.  East London beaches are stunning, the ocean waters are not too cold, and some of the quieter beaches allow dogs too.  Explore and discover the East Coast Resorts area beaches, like the people in this photo are doing.  This is a stretch of beach between Glen Gariff and Glen Eden.  Go hiking along the coast, but don't forget you sun protection!

Kwelera River is a nature lover's delight

This photo was taken a bit upriver from the mouth of Kwelera River, near East London, in South Africa - about 2km or so, upriver.  It is near the Kwelera River mouth that the 16km (10 miles) Surfers Marathon Coastal Challenge starts each year.  Yellow Sands beach is on the opposite side of the river mouth.  Glen Gariff is not far along the coast, from the mouth either.  Just a little downriver from these cliffs in this photo, one finds Areena Riverside Resort.

This is the perfect area for abseiling, tubing, canoeing, fishing, hiking, bird watching, swimming and more! 

Hugging a log at Sunrise on Sea near East London

Zooty was 3 or 4 in this photo taken at Sunrise on Sea beach, East Coast Resorts, near East London, about 7 years ago.  Zooty is now naturally bigger, the log is the same size, and the beach is still there.  Only thing really different now is that the log is missing Zooty's hugs.
