Kenton’s beaches are among South Africa’s most beautiful, with endless stretches of golden sand and the warm Indian Ocean inviting you to relax, surf, or swim. Whether it’s a beach walk along Kariega Beach or a day of excitement at Shelley Bay, there’s a perfect spot for every visitor. Try your hand at surfing, snorkeling, or scuba diving to discover the vibrant marine life beneath the waves.

The convergence of the Kariega and Bushman’s Rivers provides a unique dual-river experience, with eco-cruises offering sightings of fish eagles, otters, and more. Guided river tours are ideal for anyone wanting to observe wildlife in their natural habitat. Alternatively, rent a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard for a solo journey through the peaceful estuaries

Book a guided tour for sightings of lions, elephants, and other native species in their natural environment. Wildlife lovers can also explore smaller reserves like Sibuya Game Reserve, where overnight camping safaris combine luxury with nature immersion
