Port St. Johns is a town located in the Transkei, or better known as the Wild Coast in South Africa. There is a very nice beach, very wide and big, unfortunately swimming is not recommended due to a few deathly shark attacks they've had. Nonetheless it's nice to walk on the beach, or do some gym like some locals do. #beach
