    Nahoon Reef is a very popular surfing spot. Fishing and spear fishing is great here. The wooden walking paths and viewing decks have been repaired and renovated. The entrance to the walk way from the Reef Cafe parking side is filled up with sand which wheel chairs and baby strollers can't access the walk way. It's a scenic and peaceful outing. Mermaids Pool turns magnificent turquoise when the tide is low and the sea is calm. Lots of rock pools to explore all along towards the right. The ablutions at the parking area can definitely be better maintained. The REEF restaurant is amazing.

    This is one hell of a place to go to. The mountain leading to beach is fully fitted with steps to climb up and enjoy the sound of waves from top. This path leads to the beach. The path on the right leads to a stunning view from top as well.

    The boardwalk at Nahoon Reef is a popular East London attraction, take a walk before or after coffee or lunch at The Reef Cafe and watch the surfers doing their thing. It's also the starting point to walk to Bats Cave, another must see, best to go there in a group.

    A spectacular reef with great peace and calm. One can explore and walk comfortably within the reef allowing an observation of nature. A beautiful spot.

    Fantastic place with a lovely little walking trail and beautiful views but not well maintained. 3 Stars because of the deteriorated walking path, otherwise 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Cameron P. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beach front and walk. The parking in limited, yet was enough for majority of the cars and to create a great atmosphere on the beach with families, pets, community and laughter. Protected from the wind and offers a tiny trail on the right to head to another beach area. Incredible views walking on the trailer over the little mountain.

    This is a beautiful place to sit and take in the soud of the waves, to breath in the fresh air from the oean and trees and to jut relax your mind and breath.

  • 5/5 David R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a beautiful beach, just a pity that certainly individuals think its a party venue and a dump ground for all their bottles.

    Beautiful morning drinking coffee and watching the junior surfers have a blast

  • 4/5 Morne Andrew H. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love it here. It's probably one of the only beaches that is kept clean. Its a decent spot for a date, or for a decent stroll. There is also a café there (The Reef café) if you want to go for a decent meal while enjoying the ocean air. Best time to visit is early hours of the morning. It's so peaceful and tranquil.

    Shocking boardwalk. No maintenance in looks like years. Burnt sections not fixed. Loose boards and railings. Accident waiting to happen. BCM disgusting tourist attraction.

    Beautifull

  • 3/5 Despina Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Seems like a lovely spot for fishing considering how popular this was there. We followed the trails and the views were quite beautiful. Unfortunately, due to the crumbling boardwalks though, it limits quite a bit of what you can go explore. We managed to still make it onto the trails but definitely not the easiest to hop over the broken bits
