HOLE IN THE WALL
the legend
Local folklore tells a romantic tale of a beautiful Xhosa girl living in a village near a lagoon cut off from the sea by a mighty cliff, who was seen by one of the sea people who became overwhelmed by her beauty and tried to woo her.
In dealing with the wrath of her father, the sea people enlisted the help of a huge fish who battered its way through the wall of rock. The sea people spilled through this hole and swept the young Xhosa maiden away.

CINTSA:
The quaint little seaside village of Cintsa or Chintsa, 45 kilometres from East London and a little piece of paradise. This part of the coast is reminiscent of all things wild, and beautiful, claiming its name from the river on which it lies, meaning ‘crumbling banks’ in Xhosa.
