Shelly Beach Shopping at its best

Visitors to the KZN South Coast will find exceptional retail therapy at Shelly Beach’s two premier shopping destinations: Shelly Centre and South Coast Mall. These modern, air-conditioned complexes offer the perfect respite from beach activities while providing everything from everyday essentials to luxury items. Enjoy the experience of our Shelly Beach Shopping Malls.

Whether you’re a holiday-maker who forgot sunscreen, a local resident doing weekly grocery shopping, or someone seeking retail entertainment on a rare rainy day, these comprehensive shopping hubs deliver convenience and variety. And with their selection of restaurants, specialty stores, and services all under one roof, Shelly Beach’s shopping centers ensure visitors can enjoy retail convenience without venturing far from their coastal paradise.

If you are in need of even more retail therapy, take a short drive to Margate and visit the Hibiscus Shopping Mall, yet another shopping mall that services the lower south coast.

Let’s take a closer look at the Shelly Beach shopping malls:

Shelly Centre

As any local will tell you, Shelly Centre is the beating heart of retail therapy on our stretch of paradise. This spacious, air-conditioned mall has been serving residents and visitors alike for decades. Moreover, it’s perfectly positioned just across from our famous Shelly Beach, making it incredibly convenient for spontaneous shopping trips.

Inside, you’ll find a delightful mix of national retailers and charming local boutiques. The centre has recently undergone stylish renovations; as a result, it feels fresh and modern throughout.

  • Woolworths Food and Pick’n Pay will cover all your grocery needs
  • Fashion retailers, including Edgars, Truworths, Foschini, and Mr Price plus many others
  • Several jewelry stores for that special South Coast memento
  • Banking facilities, including ATMs and full-service branches
  • A diverse food court with options to satisfy every craving, including the always popular Spur, Panarotti’s, John Dory’s, and Mugg & Bean.

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.  

There is plenty of open-air, rooftop, and undercover parking, the hallways are wide, and the air conditioning will be a welcome relief on a hot day.

Once you have had your fill of shops and bought that new outfit for the beach, how about you head down and explore the beach at Shelly Beach and dip your toes in the ocean!
