Outdoor Activities - Sedgefield and beyond

Sedgefield is central to all the amenities and outdoor activities of the Garden Route and our logo “If its Outdoors its out Here!” applies in truth to the whole locality.

Outdoor Activities

The Garden Route is an extraordinary strip of coastline stretching from Still Bay in the east to Storms River in the west, a distance of roughly 260 kms. This small region is traversed by multiple rivers, has a lake district of 5 lakes, unsurpassed beaches, some breathtaking mountain ranges, the largest stretch of historical indigenous forest south of the equator and a wild fynbos garden unlike anywhere else on earth.

Its mild Mediterranean type climate encourages people to spend a great deal of time outdoors.

In stunning natural surroundings people of all ages can breathe in clean air and frolic in nature’s playground. There are some rules to observe but they are minimal and exist only to ensure your safety. Here is some information for you to investigate about outdoor activities around Sedgefield and along the Garden Route.
