Summer is here and the holidays are beckoning! Now is the time to start planning that year-end, family holiday and where better to relax and cool off than the KZN South Coast?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cOur tourism establishments are geared up and ready to welcome our many holiday visitors to the KZN South Coast this festive season,\u201d noted Phelisa Mangcu, CEO of South Coast Tourism & Investment Enterprise (SCTIE). \u201cFor those of you who haven\u2019t yet decided on where to book, we\u2019ve put together a great list of the many coastal attributes that make the Paradise of the Zulu Kingdom a prime destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marina Beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
    \n
  1. Blue Flag Beaches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The recent announcement of the 2023\/2024 Blue Flag Beaches positioned the KZN South Coast as having the highest number in the province. There are 5 Blue Flag Beaches with another 7 attaining pilot status. Marina Beach has retained Blue Flag status for 22 consecutive years while Trafalgar Beach has held its title for 12 consecutive years. This shows an international standard of conservation, health, and safety.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Subtropical climate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The KZN South Coast\u2019s beaches are not just beautiful to admire, the year-round subtropical climate and warm Indian Ocean mean visitors can swim throughout the year. There\u2019s no better place to beat the heat this summer (or winter, spring, and autumn!).<\/p>\n

      \"\"
      Margate Tidal Pool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        \n
      1. Tidal pools<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There are 21 tidal pools dotted along the KZN South Coast, providing bathers with protected conditions throughout the year. This also happens to be another KZN record – the highest number of tidal pools in the province!<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Snorkelling<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Alongside the wonderful tidal pools, the KZN South Coast has a variety of natural rock pools on the shoreline which are ideal for snorkelling and discovering local marine life. Visitors can wait until the tide gets low before heading out with snorkelling gear, and buckets and spades for the little ones.<\/p>\n

          \"\"
          Aliwal Shoal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
            \n

            Aliwal Shoal, Protea Banks, and Trafalgar are three Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) found on the KZN South Coast. As MPAs, marine life is protected through no-take zones and other restrictions to ensure marine biodiversity and protected ocean wilderness. Aliwal Shoal is also a Hope Spot which is a critical space identified by NPO, Mission Blue, to create awareness about ocean issues.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Dive sites<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              In addition to being MPAs, Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks are also considered among the top scuba diving sites in the world. Aliwal Shoal has stunning fossilised sand dunes, shipwrecks, and incredible shark sightings of raggedtooth, tiger, and blacktips. Protea Banks is home to seven shark species with huge schools of hammerhead and raggedtooth sharks.<\/p>\n

                These waters are also renowned for sightings of the annual humpback whale migration, either from one of the many whale watching decks found along the KZN South Coast, or by chartering a boat for a superb ocean safari. During the winter months, the planet\u2019s greatest biomass migration \u2013 the Sardine Run \u2013 goes past the KZN South Coast, giving visitors the chance to view whales, dolphins, sharks, and sea birds close by. Underwater ocean safaris to the top dive sites could include sightings of the highly-endangered devil ray with a cleaning station discovered recently at Aliwal Shoal.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n
