SOUTH
COAST - GENERAL INFORMATION |
The Natal South Coast is a superb coastline priding
itself with vast
golden sandy beaches, washed by the warm ocean and
coved by a sequence of lagoons and rocky protrusions.
The coastline has been popularly named as the “Hibiscus
Coast” and is a well frequented summer holiday
destination for many South Africans. The area is the
focus of great excitement in the winter months when
huge shoals of sardine move along the coast and attract
a myriad of game and seabirds.
Whales and dolphins move with the fish and become
part of the frenzy as the shoal moves into the shallows.
The coastline presents one of the most exciting and
energetic resort locations with vast opportunities
for sport, outdoor activities, shopping, night life
and fancy restaurants.
