Attractions

Sedgefield on Sea is the greatest seaside village on the Garden Route. "If it's out there it's out here". As a village we are commited to making your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Sedgefield, in the Garden Route, is halfway from Cape Town to Addo Elephant Park on the N2 highway, just 20km from the hustle and bustle of Knysna Town and 40km from George Airport. Cocooned between the pine covered hills on one side and the unspoilt beaches on the other, when driving through the Main Street, visitors are often oblivious to the hidden treasures that Sedgefield holds. An outdoor lover's paradise, the town offers numerous beach walks and trails.

Boardering the Goukamma Nature Reserve and the Wilderness National Park, Sedgefield is primed for nature lovers. It is known for its prolific bird life, including marine, estuaries and evergreen forest species, which can be viewed along the trails and bird hides with over 250 listed species. In addition it is part of the National Whale Route from Gericke's Point and Swartvlei beach where bottlenose dolphins and the Southern Right Whale frequent our coastline annually to calve over a four month period peaking in August.

The warm Indian Ocean and an abundance of inland water surfaces offer water babies endless opportunities for bathing, boating, water-skiing, surfing, wind surfing, kite surfing, angling, diving and spear fishing. Anglers will find excellent surf, rock estuary or deep-sea fishing. Groenvlei is known for Black Bass waters.

Sedgefield is a sought after paragliding and hang gliding venue. Drive up to Cloud 9 for a spectacular view. See how the para-gliders take off and enjoy the breeze in your hair.

Evening Beach Walks. Twice a month at full moon and new moon, why not explore the rock pools at Swartvlei beach in Sedgefield and enjoy an informative guided talk on the wonders of the marine world under the moonlight or starlights!!!

Sedgefield is renowned for the award winning Wild Oats Farmers Market, alongside the N2 on the way to Swartvlei, every Saturday morning. So why not start your day with the farmers and local product owners and experience the vibe & the unique people. See how paper is made from Elephant dung at Scarab Paper. You will be amazed to see how paper is still produced by hand using a vintage printing press
