Something for everyone

Scottburgh Beach, a stunning Blue Flag Beach, offers a range of activities to entertain from the youngest to the oldest visitor. Note too that there is now a ramp for easier access to the beach. 

About 45 minutes south of Durban, Scottburgh Beach is the next major beach south of Winkelspruit and comes before Park Rynie Beach.  The perfect stop-over on your exploration of the KZN South Coast. 

Besides taking a dip in the warm ocean waters and relaxing while working on your tan, there are plenty of other things to do:

  • Swim in the tidal pools
  • Swim or canoe in the lagoon
  • Have fun at the super tube
  • Play a round of put-put
  • Try abseiling or orbing
  • Surf or bodyboard the perfect waves
  • Cast your fishing line from the rocks or the shore to catch your dinner?

We also have to mention that the sunrise from the grass terrace can be spectacular! Definitely worth the early wake-up.

There are a few nearby restaurants, take-away places, and bars to satisfy your appetite and cool yourself down. Explore the surf and beach wear shops, or get a few items to take home as a reminder of your time here from the curio shops.
