Cathedral Rock

About Cathedral Rock

Located in the remote Pondoland region, Cathedral Rock is a massive, pyramid-shaped sea stack and one of the most iconic landmarks of South Africa's Wild Coast. This free-standing vertical rock features its own natural "hole-in-the-wall" archway created by millions of years of wave erosion. Geological Features: The rock is a towering sandstone formation that stands out from the rugged cliffs of the coastline. Reaching Cathedral Rock is an adventure, as it is inaccessible by standard vehicle and requires a strenuous hike. From Luphuthana: This is the shortest route, totaling about 14 km.
