Weekend in Port St Johns

Our weekend excursion was to Port St Johns, a coastal resort that is still relatively free of tourists, with a large number of backpackers lodges. There is quite a bit of big-game fishing taking place from here, and the place is frequented mainly by South Africans.
There is a large multicultural community here, the town itself small and stocking the most necessary items for eating and living. But the beaches are wonderful and the long walks along the hillsides spectacular.
Many hippie types live in the place – a kind of Hippieville, but, as is the case these days, the bulk of them are at pension point, still partying and living close to their natural surroundings, with little by way of ambition to change the world. Theirs is, after all, quite ideal.
