Things to Do on the South Coast
near sunny rock – self catering accommodation
Combining natural beauty with vibrant culture, the South Coast offers unforgettable experiences for every visitor.
The South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal is famous for its exceptional weather, arguably the best in South Africa. In the summer, temperatures can get quite warm, but they’re pleasantly moderate compared to the intense heat of the north coast.
Winter here is notably mild, sometimes leading locals to wear socks to fend off the slight chill. There was even a day when the temperature dropped so much that three locals were seen in jerseys – a rare and amusing sight! But jokes aside, the weather here is truly excellent all year round.
With such a perfect climate, the South Coast is a haven for a variety of activities. Nature lovers can take peaceful walks along pristine beaches or explore lush coastal forests rich in wildlife. For adventure seekers, options abound with surfing, scuba diving, and zip-lining available.
Immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting markets, museums, and historical sites. Don’t miss out on the delicious food – enjoy fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants or try tasty local dishes at lively food markets.
