Sandboarding Destinations in the Eastern Cape

Eastern Cape beaches are gorgeous and many are home to the most beautiful and awesome sand dunes that growing numbers enjoy conquering with their sandboards. Between Jeffrey’s Bay and St Francis lie the dunes of Aston Bay – the perfect location for beginner and advanced sandboarders. There is safe parking close to the dunes and an amazing beach restaurant for lunch or dinner. This is a good spot for those with a limited amount of time.

The Maitland Mouth Dunes near Port Elizabeth are also worth trying and if you’re looking for longer, faster slopes, there are the awesome Gamtoos river mouth sand dunes.

Sandboarding provides the perfect opportunity to explore. There are plenty of dunes in the St Francis Bay area so take a friend and make a day of it.

What to Wear when you go Sandboarding

Until someone invents a ski lift for sand dunes it’s highly advised that you don’t overdress. Sandboarding is tiring because you’ll have to walk back up the dune over and over again. Wear your oldest clothes when you go Sandboarding… you’re going to take some tumbles that aren’t life threatening but may do some damage on your branded boardshorts.

The best part about Sandboarding is that it’s easy to master while having tons of fun. It’s a very accessible, four-season activity and doesn’t require a huge investment in heavy duty gear - all you need are boots, bindings and a board. And if you hook up with a Sandboarding Adventure company then you’ll only need to bring yourself along since they’ll provide you with all the Sandboarding Gear you need.

Just don’t forget your Sun cream, hat, thick socks and sense of adventure.
