The March Long Weekend is almost here and Kingston SE is set to turn on the charm with sunny skies, warm weather, and a buzzing atmosphere. With temperatures set to hit around 30 degrees every day, it’s the perfect time to explore, relax and enjoy all that Kingston SE has to offer. Whether you’re a local looking for a great weekend or a visitor keen to experience the coastal lifestyle, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your guide to the long weekend in Kingston SE!


Beach, Sun & Sand

Kingston SE is famous for its stunning beaches and with the warm weather forecast, there’s no better place to be. Pack your bathers, sunscreen and a beach umbrella, (plus a cheeky rod) and spend your days soaking up the sun, swimming, fishing or taking a leisurely stroll along the shoreline.


Wine Tasting & Platters at Wangolina

For those who enjoy a good drop, a visit to Wangolina is a must. Nestled just outside of Kingston, this cellar door offers exquisite wines and delicious platters, making it the perfect place to unwind. Sip on a cool Sauvignon Blanc or indulge in a rich Shiraz while taking in the beautiful surroundings.


Breakfast & Coffee

Start your mornings right with a delicious breakfast and a freshly brewed coffee at one of Kingston’s favourite cafes:

  • Beach Noms – Great coffee and a relaxed beachside vibe.

  • Bliss By the Sea – A cozy atmosphere with a fantastic menu to fuel your adventures.

  • The Candy Store & Cafe – A great spot to enjoy a coffee, a sweet treat or choose from their extensive breakfast and lunch menu


Live Music at the Crown Inn

If you love live music, the Crown Inn is the place to be! With live performances on both Friday and Saturday night, it’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, enjoy some good food and great tunes, and soak up the weekend atmosphere. Whether you’re up for a lively night out or just want to sit back and enjoy the music, the Crown Inn has you covered.


Shop & Stroll

Kingston’s local shops are full of hidden gems, from boutique fashion and homewares to unique gifts and souvenirs. Take a wander through the town, support local businesses and maybe even snap up a bargain in the end-of-summer sales.


Sunset Delights: Beachside Pizza & Lighthouse Night Tour

As the sun sets, why not grab a Beach Noms pizza or takeaway and enjoy dinner with a stunning ocean view? Nothing beats the combination of good food, fresh sea air and a breathtaking sunset.


For a truly unique experience, embark on a Night Tour of the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse. Discover the history of this iconic landmark under the evening sky and soak in the incredible coastal views from a whole new perspective.
