From East London, the N2 turns slightly inland and passes through Butterworth and Umtata before rejoining the coast at Port Shepstone in Kwa-Zulu Natal.

The host of rustic seaside resorts that dot the rocky coastline create a relatively untouched paradise and can be reached by tar and dirt roads fanning out from the N2. These include Gonubie, Kei Mouth, Hole in The Wall, Coffee Bay and Port St Johns. The Wild Coast presents countless opportunities for outdoor activities, hiking, fishing, bird watching and diving.

Further inland, experience Xhosa culture and visit the Nelson Mandela Museum in his birth town of Umtata.
