In recognition
of their beauty, excellent swimming conditions and commitment to the preservation
of the
local fauna and flora, 20 Eastern Cape
beaches were given Blue Flag
status in 2014...
One would be remiss for not mentioning Gonubie
beach, for although not exactly a
local beach, it's proximity to East London (it's just 25 kilometres north
of the city at the mouth
of the Gonubie River) and its blue flag
status make it a «must» to visit.
