St Francis Bay is very special because of its building restrictions.
The town has three distinct areas.

As the rooftop of choice is thatch, St Francis Bay has one of the world's largest accumulation of thatched dream homes.
The Spanish section consists of terra cotta walls and red roof tops, creating Spanish villa heaven on a hillside overlooking the ocean.


If a more personal encounter with nature is what you're after, hunting and fishing safaris are available too.

Another unique feature is the equestrian estate.
This top of the range town house complex offers a paddock to keep your horse attached to a beautiful black and white home, enclosed from public access with electrical fencing, to create the perfect picket fence mini town for horse lovers.
Horse owners can be seen galloping through town and on the beach, whilst road signs caution drivers to be tolerant of riders.
Two prime surfing spots are available.



Although Bruce's is illusive and does not break often, when it does, the lines are absolutely perfect and good barrels are formed on the rocky seabed.

Surfers had a great day with waves providing back to back rides for two to three surfers at any one time.

Hewlett's breaks just to the left of Bruces, providing a deep water left break just off the beach.
