The Gwaing is a coastal river mouth located near George in South Africa's Garden Route, where the Gwaing River meets the Indian Ocean. The primary access point for paddlers is the Gwaing Caravan Park, a small, exclusive park with twenty campsites positioned directly at the river mouth. This location serves as a convenient launch and take-out spot, offering a panoramic view over the river, sea, and surrounding fynbos vegetation. The overall character is that of a tranquil and intimate coastal estuary, with scenery defined by the interplay of river and ocean waters. Paddling is a noted activity here, with the river suitable for kayak exploration. The water is crystal-clear, and the area is rich in birdlife, with numerous species thriving along the riverbanks and in the treetops. The beach at the river mouth is municipal-owned and provides a scenic, atmospheric setting. Paddlers should be aware this is a tidal estuary subject to ocean conditions. The location is near the town of George, making it a base for exploring the wider Garden Route.
