This unique and exclusive
paradise on South Africa's Sunshine Coast draws holiday-makers
from all over the world to enjoy the glorious beaches lapped
by the warm Indian Ocean, excellent water-sport facilities, a
leisurely lifestyle and the magical beauty of its unspoilt
surroundings.

Santareme, and luxury apartments encircling the turquoise
waters, at Port St Francis.
St Francis has a Mediterranean climate with generally mild
temperatures ranging from 12?C in winter to 30?C in summer. |
