Wilderness Travel Guide

Map of Wilderness

Wilderness, with its long stretch of sandy white beaches, is a fisherman's and surfer's haven. A small and intimate town, it exudes a laid-back, holiday atmosphere.

The area has a unique system of lakes, rivers and wetlands very close to the sea. The coastal road runs along a narrow strip of land between the Indian Ocean and the chain of lakes, one of which reputedly contains a mermaid.

This is the ideal place to enjoy the pleasures of boating, yachting, swimming, fishing and canoeing, which are perfect ways to explore the tranquillity of the national park area and its abundant birdlife.
