Nahoon Point Nature Reserve is East Londons real Natural Asset

As a tourism and natural asset , little compares to the Nahoon Point Nature reserve. Comprising of natural sea bush and diverse coastal Flora as well as a healthy and growing indigenous fauna.
From the Nahoon estuary beyond Bats Cave on to Eastern Beach , this area offers a truly magnificent piece of coast .

Enjoyed by hundreds each day and particularly on weekends when the Park Run takes place , walking and running trails managed in this reserve are a true Natural wonder.

Yes these activities do impact , however the custodians of this reserve headed by the Management Committee and protection trust , the beady eye of Kevin Cole and his team always  weight the importance of low impact use as a way to preserve this magnificent asset.

Enjoyed by Surfers , Fishermen ( unique in that this is a marine protected area , however sustainable fishing from shore is still allowed) divers , beach goers ( Mermaids Pool is a great place to spend a morning) , paddlers , bird lovers , walkers runners and many more nature lovers.

The unique position of this Nature Reserve and its close proximity to the built up suburbs , makes the accessibility a great asset.

Enjoy the Reef Cafe and its fine dining , and now offering a great sun-downer option. Walk along the boardwalks and see dolphins and whales at play. Have a dip or snorkel around Mermaids Pool.

However you choose to spend time in this unique reserve , please keep it in pristine condition . This asset is way under appreciated as our very own Natural " Kirstenbosch Gardens or Cape Point " and the beauty of it is its 10 minutes away from most East London areas , free for your use ( but please support the Reef Cafe and Surfing Museum)

See you at the Nahoon Point Nature Reserve  , or let us at www.riversway.co.za . A great way to unwind on a business trip or enjoy on your next coastal holiday.

East London coastal holiday still a great option

Recently a family from Cape Town stayed with us at Riversway www.riversway.co.za . They had visited East London roughly ten years ago and lamented about the sorry state of the Cities decline. Sadly a lot of their observations are warranted and the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality should take heed of this. East London has never enjoyed any real international Tourism other than some Backpacker visitors often just passing us en route to KZN or the  Wild Coast.
Local tourism in the form of beach holidays and sporting event visitors to East London , offers a fast growing segment of tourism for East London.

Hence observations of this nature , and such quoted comments emanating from paying visitors  " we don't think well be back here  unless we have to " leads one to seriously think about the state of our City.

In this thought process one begins to ponder the effects of this on our local tourism trade and the potential hazards it presents Guest House and resort owners.

Many great beach destinations globally however are in a far greater state of disrepair and cities that offer gateways to these paradise type locations are often nothing short  of third world ruins.

So why ,when a local tourist travels to a South African coastal resort city,  is it with such high expectations of the Cities Infrastructure?

As resort and guest house owners we should draw parallels to Mauritius , and many other coastal resort tourism hotspots and remind local tourists its our beaches that are the draw card and not the city?

In the absence of a functional local authority to improve the  Metropolitan area around East London , let us keep the focus on the natural resources that are our magnificent beaches.

An idea may be to blindfold all local tourists at the City Limit and drive them to Nahoon Beach and walk them up to seafront before removing the blindfold, . Sadly this aside, it is the first impression that lasts.

To our visitors who have managed to keep the blindfold on until you arrive at Nahoon , East Coast Resorts or West coast resort village we salute you and welcome you back to our poorly managed yet naturally beautiful resort City.

Pay us a visit at   Riversway Guest House in Nahoon www.riversway.co.za and don't switch on your holiday till you take the blindfold off once you reach our Beautiful Nahoon Beach Welcome.
