Overview

The neighbouring towns of Cape St Francis and St Francis Bay lie on a narrow coastal plain between the Indian Ocean to the east and low dune fields to the west. The towns have distinctive, carefully planned layouts of curving residential roads following the coastline from the Krom River in the north to the historic Seal Point lighthouse at the southern tip of the cape. 

Map Design and Paper

The map is an original creation by our design studio at Africa Map Art. Data for this map has been compiled from various up-to-date sources including from the OpenStreetMap contributors. The map is available in four styles and on the following two paper options and canvas: a high quality 210gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish, which achieves excellent colour and resolution and is perfect for framing;  a 260gsm photo paper with a smooth satin finish;  and a 350gsm strengthened canvas. All of the options are shipped in a cardboard roll for protection. The canvas is unstretched and unframed.

We welcome personalisation and customisation requests, such as highlighting of specific buildings or features, adjusting the colour scheme, or the addition of text and images.  Please contact us for a quote.

History

The settlement grew in the mid-20th century as a coastal holiday village near the Seal Point lighthouse, which dates from 1878. Early development was deliberately low-density and architecturally controlled, shaping the orderly village layout that still defines Cape St Francis today.
