The Double Mouth Nature Reserve, part of the greater East London Coast Nature Reserve, is a coastal reserve in the Wild Coast region of the Eastern Cape. Alongside it are the Quko River mouth[1] and the 50-metre high Morgan Bay Cliffs.[2]
Biodiversity
The mouth of the Quko River which forms an estuary and the nearby forested dunes[3] host a large number of birds and animals.[1]
Mammals
This includes the Cape bushbuck, blue duiker, mongoose, vervet monkeys, porcupines, legavaan, jackals and the endangered African clawless otter.[4]
Birds
Raptors such as the African fish eagle, Cape vulture, spotted eagle-owl and African wood owl.[4]
Activities
The Double Mouth Nature Reserve offers fishing,[4] camping, dolphin spotting, mountain biking and hiking trails. On the Bead Beach in the reserve money cowries, Chinese Ming porcelain and Carnelian beads can sometimes be found; this is thought to come from the Santo Espirito shipwreck in 1608.[5] Nearby is the protected village of Haga Haga, the Morgan Bay Cliffs and Cape Morgan Nature Reserve.
