General Information

Morgan Bay is a lovely seaside village on the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape province in South AfricaMorgan Bay is situated 90km (about 1 hours drive) north of East London on the R349  just off N2 toward Durban.   

Cape Morgan was named in 1822 after A.F. Morgan, who was master of the royal naval survey ship Barracouta. She was part of a number of ships on an expedition, under Captain W.F.W Owen R.N, sent out by the British Admiralty to survey the coast from Maputo southwards to the mouth of the Keiskamma River. Later became Morgan Bay or Morgs as its fondly known.  
 
Flanked by a beautiful 2Km beach to the East of the village are high dunes which are perfect for sand boarding for the youngsters. The Ichara Lagoon wraps around the stunning campsite overlooking the beach which is paradise for kids of all ages.  The shallows are perfect for the toddlers, while the rest of the water ways are used for canoe’s and SUP’s for the older kids. Either fishing or just having fun. 
 
At the end of the beach is the Cape Morgan lighthouse and the remains of the old Titanium mine which was abandoned in the mid-60s, leaving a tidal pool perched on the rocks. 
 
Facing west you climb 70m up to the magnificent dolomite cliffs which takes to views you cannot describe, with paths that meander the length of the cliffs taking you back down to the Double Mouth nature reserve, the viewpoints along the way are widely used as look out points for the Dolphin and the Whales during the Sardine run which occurs between May and late July. 
 

Activities

Activities in Morgan Bay include abseiling, canoe and fishing excursions, guided mountain bike trails, swimming, fishing, kite flying, body boarding, surfing, boogie boarding, beach cricket and rugby, hiking, sand boarding, horse riding, shell collecting and beach combing.  Morgan Bay is ideal for canoeing, wind surfing and dinghy sailing
.
For surfers there is a point break that produces perfect right hand barrels that funnel into the bay, this is well known for the winter swell. 
 
Anglers can catch kob, garrick, white steenbras and an array of smaller fish from the beach.  There is also an estuary at the Double Mouth Nature Reserve, 4km from Morgan Bay, which is one of the only places on the Eastern Cape where there has been a recorded catch of a river snapper. This makes the estuary a perfect place for light-tackle and saltwater fly-fishermen.
