Neighbourhood information

The seaside suburb of Gonubie lies 8 km north of East London at the mouth of the Gonubie River. Life is slow paced and the beach holiday vibe makes it a hot destination for young families. Kids can easily spend days exploring the estuary and rock pools for little fish, shells and other marine creatures. Gonubie beach boasts Blue Flag status and amazing swimming conditions. Protected by lifeguards, the long beach and small waves are perfect for small kids. The river mouth offers a good launching site for boats or for a bit of fishing. A spectacular walkway along the seashore is ideal for sunset strolls and dolphin or whale watching.
