South Africa: Maitland Beach in Eastern Cape

Magnificent Maitland

Just 30 km to the west of Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape you’ll find the magnificent dunes and golden sands of Maitland Beach.

Situated at the mouth of the Maitland River, the beach borders on to the Maitlands Nature Reserve. This area was once the property of the Maitlands Lead Mines, but is now a thriving forest reserve with towering yellowwood trees and protected milkwoods.

The 125 ha forest provides refuge to several small buck, and dozens of bird species, including the Knysna lourie and the paradise flycatcher. The small section of coastal forest can be explored from various short circular hiking trails ranging in length from 3 km to 9 km.

Trails begin at the old wagon trail and lead through a variety of biomes, primarily dune vegetation and coastal forest. Nature at its finest.

Великолепный Мейтленд

Всего в 30 км к западу от Порт-Элизабет, Восточный Кейп, находятся великолепные дюны и золотые пески пляжа Мейтленд.

Расположенный в устье реки Мейтленд, пляж граничит с заповедником Мейтлендс. Этот район когда-то был собственностью компании владельца свинцовых рудников Мейтленда, но теперь это процветающий лесной заповедник с высокими деревьями желтого дерева и охраняемыми молочными деревьями.

Лес площадью 125 га является убежищем для нескольких мелких оленей и десятков видов птиц, в том числе лурье и райской мухоловки.

Небольшой участок прибрежного леса можно исследовать по различным коротким кольцевым пешеходным тропам длиной от 3 до 9 км. Маршруты ведут через разнообразные биомы, в первую очередь дюнную растительность и прибрежный лес.
