Very nice place to go for a short period of time, there is not much to do but there are pools and tennis courts and a small shop outside of the resort, beautiful views and the beach is right down the road

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cintsa beach (Eastern Cape) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cintsa beach (Eastern Cape) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cintsa beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
