Gonubie is a beachside town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.

The river serves as a great place for activities such as canoeing and kayaking.

Gonubie is today being developed as a residential exurb just outside the city of East London and has become a bedroom community with much of its working population commuting to East London to work or study.

Gonubie is situated approximately 18 kilometres (11,2 miles) north-east of East London on the mouth of the Gqunube River.

Gonubie is bypassed by the major N2 freeway to the west, routing traffic heading north from East London towards Mthatha.
