What did we look at in our reviews of the KZN South Coast beaches?
 
We looked at the availability of parking, the ease of access, the facilities, the beach itself, the tidal pool/regular pool, and the sights of each beach. And of course, we offer the ‘insiders guide’ to each beach, information only a local would know.
 
Something that is important to note is that although toilet facilities are available at most of the beaches, toilet paper is not. Bring your own!
