Long white sandy beaches, dramatic peninsulas and romantic resorts along the coast are irresistible for those who want to celebrate their love or revive sparkle. Spend the days exploring the African Bush on foot or doing a jeep safari, sliding through the air in a hot air balloon or relaxing in a private pool overlooking a water hole. The South African coast offers miles of pristine beaches and romantic experiences for couples who want to immerse themselves in a unique African experience.
