Kidd's Beach is a small coastal resort town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa situated on the Mkhanzi River about 28 kilometres from East London, South Africa.[2] The name "Mkhanzi" is derived from the Xhosa word "umkhanzi", which means "bulrush", or Typha capensis.[3] Kidd's Beach was named after Charles Kidd, who was the mayor of nearby King William's Town in the 1860s.[4]
