Cannon Sacramento Trail | Attraction

Eastern Cape Attractions | Sunshine coast Attractions | Port Elizabeth Attractions

The Sacramento is a popular 8 km round trip coastal walk through the Schoenmakerskop-Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve and is accessed by traveling along Sardinia Bay Road.

The area offers attractive seascapes, landscapes and, depending on the season, some remarkable displays of dune vegetation and wild flowers.

At Schoenmakerskop, a bronze cannon points towards the wreck site of the Portuguese galleon, Sacramento, which foundered on 30 June 1647.

The route continues past the Sacramento monument towards the far end of the Sandy Bay, aptly named Cannon Bay where the ruins of a mill, which used to crush seashells are located, and then on to the Sacramento Tea Room.
