Port St. Johns is a town on the Wild Coast, situated at the mouth of the Umzimvubu River. The town is thought to be mistakenly named after a Portuguese ship (the São João), which was actually wrecked at Port Edward. The town was established in the 1880s by the British, and used as a port until 1940. Near the town Travertine and Sandstone is excavated.
