Kasouga

The Eastern Cape’s First Holiday Resort

Abstract

There are a few places left on the South African coast where time feels as if it has gently folded itself into the landscape, where nature’s rhythms have remained mostly untouched by the modern rush. Kasouga is one of these rare enclaves — a naturally pristine, secure and much-loved retreat cradled between Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea.

Here, the coastline curls around a sweep of sandy beach, a lazy lagoon, and a patchwork of bushy dunes and grassy hills, all watched over by a small community of permanent residents and loyal holidaymakers who have, over generations, preserved the spirit of a bygone era.
