    Surfing, Diving, and Fishing in Lwandile

    For ocean lovers, Sasta Hill Lodge serves as the ultimate launchpad. The Transkei coast is famous for its rich marine life and uncrowded breaks, offering challenges for surfers, anglers, and divers alike.

    Surfing

    Surfers will find cooking, uncrowded waves peeling along the coast. Because the area remains largely undeveloped, you can often surf pristine breaks with just a handful of friends out in the water.
