Beach near Queenstown, South Africa

Queenstown Travel Guide

South Africa

Queenstown is an inland city in South Africa with a population of 105,309. It sits in the Eastern Cape, away from the coast, so the city is better suited to an inland trip than a beach break.

Travellers arriving by air use Queenstown Airport (UTW). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so reaching the coast requires travelling beyond the immediate area.
