Gxarha,formerly known as Morgan Bay,on theWild Coast, is a reminder of just how lucky we are to live in South Africa. With so many incredible coastal towns to choose from, it’s easy to overlook places that quietly offer exactly what you need: space, sea air and a proper break from routine. Set along the Eastern Cape’s rugged shoreline, Gxarha delivers that classic Wild Coast scenery.
There’s a longstretch of beach, dramatic cliffs and rolling green hills that meet the ocean in a way that feels untouched. It’s peaceful without feeling cut off, and relaxed without feeling sleepy. We often talk about travelling more locally, and this is exactly the kind of destination that makes a strong case for it.
You don’t need an international flightto feel like you’ve escaped. Sometimes, a few hours on the road is enough to completely shift your perspective. Part of the appeal is the setting.

The Wild Coast is raw, beautiful and of course a little bit wild, and Gxarha captures that atmosphere perfectly. The beach sits right at the heart of the village, making it easy to start and end your day by the water. There’s no rush here.
No crowded promenades or packed tourist attractions. Instead, you’ll find guesthouses overlooking the ocean, a handful of local spots to eat and that small-town hospitality South Africans know so well.
