Nahoon Beach

Nahoon Beach is widely regarded as East London’s premier coastal destination, celebrated for its expansive golden sands, massive rolling dunes, and world-class surfing conditions. Located at the mouth of the Nahoon River, the beach transitions from the world-famous waves of Nahoon Reef—a favored host for national surfing competitions—to a calm, shallow estuary lagoon ideal for swimming, paddling, and fishing. Beyond its popularity with ocean sports enthusiasts, the surrounding nature reserve features a series of scenic wooden boardwalks winding over fragile coastal dunes to dramatic headland lookouts, offering panoramic views across the Indian Ocean.
