RuviaThings to do in Sedgefield
A slow town between the lakes and the sea, with a famous Saturday market.
About 35 minutes east of George
Sedgefield calls itself a slow town, and it was the first town in Africa to join the Cittaslow movement. It sits between Swartvlei, a large lake joined to the sea, and long beaches.
Come on a Saturday for the markets, stay for the walk out to Gericke's Point at low tide.
