Accommodation near Hole in the Wall
Hole in the Wall is a rocky archway formation situated in a small village of the same name, 9km outside of Coffee Bay. The tourist attraction is located in a secluded, tropical bay in the heart of the Wild Coast.
According to geologists, the cliff walls at this site were once joined to the land. Continuous wave action against the softer sandstone rocks wore them away. The same happened to the more vulnerable shale and sandstone under the hard dolerite, creating the archway. The landmark is made up of ecca shale and sandstone, capped with hard volcanic dolerite.
Hole in the Wall stands before the mouth of the Mpako River and is subject to many local myths and legends. A Xhosa legend says that the site was created by a mythical sea person who fell in love with a human and rammed a hole in the side of a lagoon wall with the help of a huge fish to reach his love.
Locals also believe the Hole in the Wall is a gateway to the world of their ancestors.
The area where Hole in the Wall is found is remote, surrounded by unspoiled coastline. This lends itself to excellent opportunities for bird watching, nature walks, hiking trails and fishing.
