About Soak up the surf and sun on the South Coast

Soak up the surf and sun on the South Coast Icon

The South Coast of the KwaZulu-Natal Province is near the port city of Durban. This magnificent area of unspoiled coastline stretches for 170km between the towns of Amanzimtoti and Port Edward. This is nothing short of an all year round sightseeing paradise for beach lovers who enjoy swimming, surfing, sunbathing, scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking. Sub-tropical forests, blue lagoons, rocky coves, the lukewarm Indian Ocean and sunny weather make KwaZulu-Natal's South Coast a popular year-round holiday destination. Swim in the surf or just laze on any of the around 40 golden sandy beaches (Ramsgate, Marina Beach and Lucien have international 'Blue Flag' status). For keen golfers there are nine excellent 18- hole golf courses, two rated amongst the top 12 in the country. Nature lovers can visit the Umtamvuna Nature Reserve, which conserves plants found nowhere else in the world. Hiking trials and camping can be enjoyed here.
