This national park encompasses the area from Wilderness and the Touws River in the west to Sedgefield and the Goukamma Nature Reserve in the east. The southern boundary is the ocean and the northern boundary is the Outeniqua range. The park covers a unique system of lakes, rivers, wetlands and estuaries that are vital for the survival of many species.
There are several nature trails in the national park for all levels of fitness, taking in the lakes, the beach and the indigenous forest. The Kingfisher Trail is a day walk that traverses the region and includes a boardwalk across the intertidal zone of the Touws River. The lakes offer anglers, canoeists, windsurfers and sailors an ideal venue. Canoes can be hired at Eden Adventures.
There are two similar camping grounds in the park with basic but comfortable accommodation: Ebb & Flow North, which is the smaller, and Ebb & Flow South. A 20% discount applies from 3 May to 30 November.
If you’re so inclined, the park is signposted from the N2; so it’s possible to walk there from Wilderness.
