About Cannon Rocks

Cannon Rocks is situated 130 km North of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape province in South Africa.

Explorer Vasco Da Gama sailed this coastline and Cannon Rocks owes its name to the wrecking of the Portuguese ship Sao Joao Baptista that ran aground after a battle with two Dutch ships in March 1622.

Sometimes the ocean and the shifting sand dunes will uncover some of the artifacts of centuries past. The old cannons and anchor from the wreck were discovered and remain on display in the village.
