Property in Hibiscus coast, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

Area Info - Hibiscus coast

The South Coast of KwaZulu Natal, also known as the Hibiscus Coast, is a "beach holiday Mecca." The warm ocean, lush green vegetation and seemingly endless golden beaches form a picture perfect hideaway. Many of the little towns that have been found along this section of the coast have more traditional Colonial names, while being equally quaint and charming that is where any similarity ends. Here you are as likely to see someone strolling along the golden beaches in winter licking an ice-cream cone as you are in summer.

All year round dolphins can be spotted trawling up and down the coastline as well as the occasional cruising whale. The annual "Sardine Run" is a highlight to an already exciting coastline. Expected around June or July each year the massive shoal of sardines entices thousands of dolphins, sharks, game fish and a few whales into a feeding frenzy that simply has to be seen.

Many of the properties along this part of the coast are in the "Olde World" style at times leading you to believe that you really are in a tiny colonial village. This is just one of the many charms and benefits of investing in South Coast property.

Attractions

Fishing along the Hibiscus Coast

You can be assured of fine surf or rock fishing on many of the beaches along the Hibiscus Coast - come rain or shine. Once a year, during the sardine run, swap your rod and reel for the biggest basket you can find! This section of the coast is a deep sea fishing paradise with many species of game fish including tuna and many varieties of shark.

Nature

The Hibiscus Coast is renowned for its nature reserves, indigenous forests and prolific birdlife. The Oribi Gorge area is well known for its unequalled hiking trails while there are few experiences that compare with an early morning horse-back ride on the beach. World renowned for it's dolphin and whale spotting this stretch of the coast offers the nature enthusiast a multitude of options.

South Coast Beaches

All main beaches are protected by shark nets and have active life guards on hand. Apart from the Blue Flag beaches there are also numerous quiet beaches where one can stroll quite peacefully, enjoying the sand between the toes and the sight of the warm Indian Ocean. In season beach volley ball, games and live entertainment are provided for general enjoyment. While some beaches will allow dogs, not all do. Please ensure that if you are taking your dog to the beach that it is kept on a leash at all times.

South Coast Golf Courses

The South Coast is littered with golf clubs including the Margate Country Club and San Lameer Country Club to name but two. The recently upgraded Port Shepstone Country Club, set on the Umzimkulu River has the front nine meandering between towering indigenous trees. The San Lameer Country Club is a challenging course in a park-like setting with many water features and abundant bird life.
