St. Francis Bay, nestled in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, is a coastal gem known for its serene beauty, thriving marine life, and a lifestyle that effortlessly blends adventure with relaxation. Divided into three charming areas—The Bay, The Port, and The Cape—this picturesque town boasts soft, white sandy beaches, tranquil canals, and the iconic lighthouse at Cape St. Francis, which has guided ships since 1878.
The area’s name was given by a Portuguese sailor in 1575, in honour of St. Francis, the Patron Saint of Sailors. In 1954, visionary sugar tycoon Leighton Hulett transformed the land, creating the now-famous St. Francis Bay Canals—a man-made waterway system that connects to the Kromme River and the Indian Ocean. Today, the canals are one of the most sought-after real estate destinations in South Africa, with exclusive properties offering stunning views of the sea, the Baviaanskloof Mountains, and the surrounding natural beauty.
