A beautiful beach resort with hotels and a camping site at the mouth of the Qolora River. The wreck of the Jacaranda can be seen on the rocks of the coast. One can take a short walk to the enchanted Gxara River Pool where Nongqawuse, a 14-year-old Xhosa girl had seen her ancestors faces in the pool and promised her tribe triumph over the white man. As an act of faith Nongqawuse instructed the Gcaleka Xhosas to kill their livestock and destroy their crops to prove to their ancesters that they believed in them and her prediction. The 18 February 1857 was to be their day of salvation and they anxiously waited for the rising blood red sun to stand still in the sky and set again in the east. The sun made its usual slow paasage across the hot February sky and a breeze blew off the sea as the sun set silently in the west. Her tribe was ruined and darkness fell, twenty five thousand Gcaleka Xhosas died of starvation. Some survivied with the help of neighbouring tribes and europeans.
Nongqawuse fled to King Williams Town to find safety with the British and was kept for a while on Robben Island and later died on a farm in the Eastern Cape in 1898.
