Beachfront functions — the Gonubie look
Gonubie and the East London beachfront hold Buffalo City's most photographed function sites: white stretch tents on sea-facing lawns, sundowner receptions with the Indian Ocean behind, and estuary-side celebrations along the Gonubie River mouth. The warm coast and the sea breeze set the plan — stretch tents rig open for the air and anchored for the wind, frame tents weight down on paved terraces, and every canopy is waterproof for the year-round showers.
Where we rig on the coast
Gonubie, Gonubie Point, Nahoon, Nahoon Reef side, Beacon Bay, Bonza Bay, the Esplanade and the Nahoon River mouth. Municipal beachfront sites need Buffalo City events permission — apply about four weeks out; the rigging and anchoring are ours, the permit is the hirer's side.
