Ponto do Ouro Beach House

Destination

Ponta do Ouro

Ponto do Ouro or "Point of Gold" is so named because early Portuguese explorers got a bit muddled over their maps and thought gold might be found here. They were wrong! The dunes are a rich black titanium, and the only gold seen here is the setting sun glinting off the long white beaches. Essentially this area is an extension of South Africa’s Maputaland, but far more pristine. The town of Ponto do Ouro is fringed by sea, sand, dunes and casuarina trees, and offers a superb holiday destination. Surf fishing for barracuda, kingfish and bream is popular, while adventurous scuba divers can set off beyond the reefs and dive with sharks, dolphins and giant whale sharks. Gentler pursuits include whale- and dolphin-watching trips (you can even swim with the dolphins), viewing turtles (who lay their eggs on the beach in the summer months), swimming, and long beach walks. It is a beautiful three kilometre stroll along the beach to South Africa’s border at Kosi Bay. More Ponto do Ouro Accommodation

Directions To Ponto do Ouro Beach House

FROM KOSI BAY BORDER TO PONTA DO OURO Kosi Border Time: 08h00 - 17h00 When you arrive at the border from Manguzi on the South African side, if you don't have a 4x4, you can arrange to have your motor car placed in secure parking, at the border post for the duration of your stay. The cost is.R20.00/R30.00 per vehicle per day and there is a 24 hour guard. Make arrangements for a border shuttle pick up before hand if you are in a motor car. You will need a 4x4 or at minimum a 2x4 diff lock. Remember to let your tyres down for driving in soft sand. How much to deflate depends on the size of your tyre and the load you are carrying, there is no hard and fast rule. A rule of thumb is to deflate until you can see a discernable bulge (not too big) at the bottom of your tyres. Remember you can always deflate some more, but if you don't have a pump you cannot re-inflate.
