Home to the highest number of sunshine hours in the country, the world's only Dodo egg, largest man-made pineapple, South Africa's oldest pub, the Coelacanth, sprawling beaches and birthplace of anti-apartheid hero Steve Biko - the Sunshine Coast has reason to beam with pride.
Boasting more than a million hectares of malaria-free game reserves and a chain of sandy beaches, the Sunshine Coast, stretching between the gateway cities of Port Elizabeth and East London, is a must for any visitor to the Eastern Cape.
In addition to beaches and game reserves, the Sunshine Coast has plenty of entertainment, seafood restaurants, history, culture and outdoor adventure pursuits.
For the sport enthusiast, Sunshine Coast offers almost every activity imaginable, from numerous golf courses, fishing charters, sailing and scuba diving excursions to hiking, canoeing and 4x4 routes.
Although film theatres, casinos and opera houses also help secure this region as a leading tourist destination, Sunshine Coast offers something more unique - genuine old-fashioned warmth and hospitality.
It has retained an unspoiled, non-commercial air with an unjaded service industry that dishes up friendliness, helpfulness and an eagerness to share the assets of the region.
The Sunshine Coast includes inland attractions such as a variety of private game reserves, country inns and guest farm accommodation.
