Groot Sint Joris

18-08-2009

Summary: The Sint Jorisbaai has many lush mangroves on its shores, inhabited by several animal species. Hiking along the water's edge you will reach the former plantation with its mispel trees and date palms. Due to its humidity, the landscape has an almost fairy tale like atmosphere. Washed ashore at the waters edge you can find djuku-seeds that are brown and look like the eyes of a deer. Jewelry is often made from these seeds.

The trails to the bay and plantation house are easily accessible. Once past the waters edge there is no official path but there is enough room to walk. At high tide you are likely to get wet feet. At the request of the owner you are asked to respect the privacy of the plantation house and to keep to the advised route. Water resistant or old footwear is advised.
