These modern, air-conditioned complexes offer the perfect respite from beach activities while providing everything from everyday essentials to luxury items.

Moreover, it’s perfectly positioned just across from our famous Shelly Beach, making it incredibly convenient for spontaneous shopping trips.

Not only will you be able to shop till you drop in the wide range of stores at Shelly Centre, but the selection of restaurants on offer is top-notch.
And when you are all shopped out, and you want to chill and catch a movie, and you are asking, “Where can I find a cinema near me?” while you are on holiday on the South Coast, then look no further. The Ster-Kinekor cinema is right inside Shelly Centre.
