Cranes and car carriers crowd the harbor on Algoa Bay, and a few minutes south the same water turns playful at Hobie Beach, where catamaran sails line the sand. Up on the hill, the Donkin Reserve pairs a stone pyramid with a white lighthouse, and the wind of the Windy City whistles through the sculptures of Route 67.
Away from the seafront, Richmond Hill fills old Victorian houses with cafés and bars, and Addo Elephant National Park lies about an hour's drive north. The oceanic climate stays mild all year, with warm summers, cool winters and a breeze most days. A Local Friend knows when to reach the beach early and when to linger over dinner in Richmond Hill.
