It is one of the most comfortable holiday trips I have had in a long time. Time to relax and nothing is is in a rush.

It is a very refreshing area and nicely clean beach 🔥🔥

Nice and quiet beach side, just outside of East London. Convenient shops quite close by and very easy to access from the main road.

Beautiful beach & easy access. Very clean & safe. Amazing tidal pool for the kids

Place is beautiful and natural, it is a place where you can relax and enjoy watching the waves and sunrise. It's clean and secured, not much of beggars and homeless people around

It's Always A Joy To Be Around Arts 🎨 And Various Crafts.

Very beautiful and scenic. A few places to either sit or stand along the boardwalk and just watch the sea and hear and feel the waves from up there. Down in front of the boardwalk, there is a tidal pool as well, but it's been open and dry for a few days now. But th boardwalk takes you straight from Main road to the main beach and the Gonubie river mouth, which is also very beautiful. I like walking there towards and from main beach

A fantastic beach to visit. White sands and crystal clear water. The boardwalk is particularly lovely to walk from one end to the other. There is also parking on either side which is free. Would recommend to anyone especially on a sunny day.

Good beach, open spaces but not alot of cover, most folks camp under the boardwalk, even though sand comes through as people walk on top. The life guards are vigilant and friendly. The parking can get full at times, so best to go early for space. They have a well run takeaway and convenient shop as you come in the parking area. Sells good chips and other meals. Would definitely recommend.

Such a beautiful little spot. The board walk isn't a long one but it is still fun to go on. Very peaceful and relaxing. It was very clean and the views of the ocean were stunning! 🏖️

The place is really nice, there’s ample parking and a couple restaurants close by. It’s clean and has a little curio shop that I’d suggest you visit to support local business and the owner is friendly

It is a beautiful walk from passing the dunes and enjoying the waves - the ocean presents a new show every day. The river has its beauty - nature can be enjoyed.

1 of the most beautiful beaches I've been to, The scenary is breath taking something very different to City life and definite to do when on the East Coast, I felt relatively safe even though there was about a handful of people around...

Walk way with lovely sea waves noise

Great view and well maintained, highly recommended. You'll have a great view of the ocean and at the end, you'll get to the river mouth which I highly recommend. Worthwhile even after dark as it's well lit.

I loved the beach and board walk. They both the epitome of a hidden gems.

Very child friendly

Great beach with life savers on duty. At least 3 restaurants in the vicinity. Public toilets and a tidal pool. Quite a walk from the southern carpark to the beach. But boardwalk is well maintained.

Lovely watching the sea

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. It did not feel like we were in S Africa. Peaceful ,safety and serenity is unbelievable.

Beautiful space to exercise or connect with nature

Beautiful place to visit.

A beautiful scenery to take a walk. You will enjoy the smell and sound of the ocean

I enjoyed chilling by the bench and taking the beach in... my walk along the coast was peaceful and refreshing 😌

A place to be very beautiful

Best place to meditate and pray...

Beautiful and clean

Always enjoy

Exquisite and splendid

(Translated by Google) Nice place to just take a break from everyday life. The boardwalk leads you comfortably along the beach. The beach itself has a great soft sand and offers a picturesque backdrop. Here you can just relax. (Original) Schöner Ort um einfach mal die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Der Boardwalk führt einen gemütlich den Strand entlang. Der Strand selbst hat einen tollen weichen Sand und bietet eine malerische Kulisse. Hier kann man sich einfach nur entspannen.

Tranquillity

I love this place

Excellent perfect to any age and you are on the beach

The boardwalk needs maintainence. The views along the sea are scenic.

God's window...

Amazing holiday destination

Beautiful area to walk through.

Nice

Nice rocks

Very nice view and relaxing.

Nice, relaxing and peaceful

Nice walk

The boardwalk is a handy way to go along the beach. The tidal pool is somewhat green and not inviting

Toilets dirty and doors broken .

Awesome scenery

Great swimming area for kids, life guards on lookout at all times

Beautiful beach, lovely time for family, not crowded and kept very clean, a lovely cafe close by and other places for drinks, has life guards as well

queit place very wide area to enjoy big waves

Nice walk

Just awesome

I love it

This Event was to promote reading in children very good initiative that will now be annual. Readings, Dance, colouring and museum tours catering for the children were educational and entertaining

For a small museum it houses some famous stuff. This is the place that houses the world renowned Coelacanth - the extremely rare fish that was caught near East London, of which fossils have also been found dating back to the Devonian era, 400 million years ago. The museum also has the only known egg from the extinct Dodo bird. And a set of fossilised human footprints in beach sand dating back 200,000 years and believed to be the oldest human footprints in the world. There are also displays on shipwrecks along the local coast and Xhosa tribal life and beautful bead work.

A great museum with local history as well as broader themes, not to mention the famous oldest footprint in the world. Spent one hour but easily could've spent two.

Just had the most awesome family outing at the annual night Market at the museum. So much effort, well worth it!

Looking a little tired, but some new displays starting to appear. The Dodo and the Coelacanth are always worth seeing. Nice cafe as well.

Well organised, very neat. Good for our history.

I really love with this museum, you just need maximum 4 or 5 hr for detailed visit

This is a different museum to most people but if you have time and read a lot you will enjoy the museum.

Interesting exhibitions to take in Great coffee shop next door as well - The Coelacanth Bistro.

A brand new coffee shop and restaurant. . Definately worth a try. Good luck Melonie

Love the museum but due to covid they're closed.

Can find best East London can offer here

Great place to walk and get the views .Plus it connects to the beach and river

Always loved this Museum.

Such great memories of this museum as a child. Glad that staff are doing their best to maintain and keep the museum interesting.

Was closed down for the virus

Staff is friendly overall. No aircon, few windows in designated areas...

Great history

(Translated by Google) B good. 25R ticket (Original) B dobre. Bilet 25R

(Translated by Google) Interesting to nature etc. But sometimes looks like a colonial museum (Original) Zu Natur usw. interessant. Aber wirkt teils wie ein Kolonialmuseum

Awesome, especially the section on basotho and xhosa history

Grrat

it smells really bad with rat mess

I have probably been to the museum over 500 times in my life already, and I will never stop going. The history is palpable, every step you take and there is ALWAYS k knowledge to gain.

Staff anxious to leave and we felt we rushed a bit to get out on time......we did arrive at 315pm not realizing it closed at 4pm so tried to make the most of it.

Excellent and very insightful museum.

Very well kept clean and exelent displays. Well done

Very interesting historical information.

It was great

Great place to take the kids on a rainy day

Worth the visit if you are in EL

So much fun to just walk through the place

Great knowledge about Eastern cape to be learned

Spent all day here. The most interesting exhibition I have been to in years!

Good to be there

Was a great Saturday afternoon market at the EL museum!

Badly Maintained-so sad 😢

Always a fun visit, full of East London's history

Very nice for a change to show my children things they wouldn't see normally

Really good family outing

The museum has our cultural pics which reminds us about roots and beliefs

Lovely beach. Neat and clean. Long stretch of beach for adults and children to enjoy.

Lovely beach indeed⛱️🌴. Had a lovely picnic with my family and we really enjoyed taking peaceful walks on the beach and of course, the SWIMMING the kids enjoyed 😃🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Wish it was bigger but it is such a nice place to have a stroll.

Quite a cool place to be... letting nature to the magic 💯

The people are really friendly and it's quite scenic

Lovely walk. Enjoy the fresh air and lovely scenary.

Good view beware of the loose boards and safety rail

Very neat and clean

Is cool and fun

Good looking place with sea breeze

Love everything about Gonubie, wouldn't want to live anywhere else!ONLY ONE VERY BIG DISSAPOINTMENT!!!!!! POTHOLES POTHOLES POTHOLES!!!!!! ESPECIALLY OCEAN VIEW DRIVE.........

Beautiful beach clean stunning view

Best 👌 Beach ⛱

Quiet, secluded, and beautiful.

Beautiful views. The beach is not full of people.

Beautiful short walk and view

It's a beautiful walk on the boardwalk but too many dogs

Clean lovely beach. My family really enjoyed the beach.

Well maintained. Sit on the beach and swim spot. Watched the surfers from the shore. Municipality should build a larger parking area.

Very nice but could be looked after more and not inviting enough...could to more to attracted tourists

As a Cape Town baby.....a water baby, I love the ocean and respect it's power. Waters in the E.L, like a jacuzzi without bubbles unless you got shore break.....smashing you're face in the sand!!!

Wonderful place to be with nice people
