Hole in the Wall, south of Coffee Bay is a unique geological structure with a huge detached cliff that has a giant opening eroded through its centre by millions of years of wave action. The local Xhosa call this place "izi Khaleni", which means "place of thunder" because of the roar of the breakers hitting the Hole in the Wall cliffs

The Xhosa legend of Hole in The Wall: Xhosa mythology tells a far more romantic tale of the sea people, semi deities who look like humans but have supple wrists and ankles and flipperlike hands and feet. A beautiful girl living on the Wild Coast, in a village near a lagoon, cut off from the sea by a mighty cliff, was seen by one of the sea people who became overwhelmed by her beauty and tried to court her. In dealing with the wrath of her father, the sea people enlisted the help of a huge fish who battered its way headfirst through the wall of rock. Through this hole spilled the sea people who swept the young Xhosa maiden away.
