Coming from Durban:
Take the N2 South to Wild Coast Casino. Here you continue travelling on the R61 to Port St Johns. Turn right towards Mthatha once you are over the Umzimvubu River bridge. Travel for 20kms until you come to the Tombo Stores on your left. Turn left towards Isimilela hospital onto gravel road past Kraal Backpackers sign (approximately 37km), continue on for appr 5km and turn sharp left, continue for appr 5km and take the route to the left, contnue for appr 2km turn right. Ask the locals if you get lost.
Coming from JHB:
I think the best road is to go to Underburg, from there to Kokstad, and then you have 2 choices, either Mthatha or directly down to Port St Johns. Coming from Mthatha you turn of right at Tombo Stores (20km before Port St Johns) to Isimilela hospital and then the road is the same. + Do we need permits to drive on uncharted roads. Where can we obtain these? Yes you do, contact Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism in Mthata, speak to Bongeka Mvakade 047 531 2887.

Can we get from sharks point to coffee bay along the coastline in a 4 x 4? Yes, you can get along the whole coastline. The routes you take will depend on yourself and the vehicle you have. Some roads are better than others but for most you will have an option on a route.
The best will be to buy a map from http://www.slingsbymaps.com/
+ Can we buy fish or seafood from the locals. Yes you can. -> who is the local community contact should I reqire assistance in an emergency, and
where is the closet hospital in case of emergency? Your community contact is Jefferey Diko and your Sharkspoint contact is John. Jeffery is also the owner of Sharkspoint.
