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.
Morgan Bay is your perfect family out door holiday.
Morgan Bay Beach
Our flat, sandy beach is great for ball games like beach cricket, rugby and tennis. A touch rugby and cricket tournament is held once a year between Christmas and New Year.
The dunes further along the beach are good for sandboarding and at 1.6km long, our beach is also ideal for jogging and walking. Other activities include swimming, fishing, kite flying, body boarding, surfing, beach soccer, dog walking, sand castle building, horse riding, shell collecting and beachcombing.
The Morgan Bay beach is protected by lifeguards during the peak December season.
Cattle on the beaches
One of the characteristic features of the Wild Coast, is cattle on the beaches. Even though there is no grass or drinking water, they still love coming down to the beach to sleep, relax and chew the cud. There are a couple of theories as to why they do this; Some say it’s to rid themselves of ticks, while others claim they are after salt. Perhaps it’s simpler than that… maybe they just enjoy it as much as we do.
Cattle do wander onto the Morgan Bay beach from time to time, but the best place to spot them is in Kei Mouth. They are often found on both sides of the river bank, between the ferry and the sea.
Fishing
The southern Wild Coast offers a great variety of desirable species in some spectacular fishing locations. If you need advice about where to fish, and what with, then contact a guide, like Great Kei Adventures and Wild Coast Fishing Charters, or ask our friendly locals. Deep Sea enthusiasts can launch from the Great Kei river, while fishing and bait collection licenses can be purchased at the Morgan Bay Top Shop. The local shops keep only a limited selection of bait and tackle, so come prepared.
The Morgan Bay Cliffs
Pack your camera and go for a hike over the spectacular cliffs. These impressive slabs of dolerite, which drop some 50 metres into the pounding surf, are ideal vantage points for watching the sunrise or enjoying a sundowner with friends. If you’re lucky, you may even see the dolphins frolicking in the waves which crash against the rocks below.
