Port Edward

Located on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, right on the border with the Eastern Cape, Port Edward is a resort town offering a balmy climate and island-style atmosphere and boasting several attractions. The stunning Silver Beach provides warm, safe waters; thrilling supertube rides; and a famous New Years’ Eve Party; and is the perfect location for watching the incredible annual sardine run. Thrill-seekers can indulge in hiking, water-skiing, jet-skiing, mountain and Quad-biking trails, horse trails, river cruises, fishing, whale-watching, and scuba diving. Port Edward is home to the smallest desert in the world, the Red Desert, which is believed to prove that the area was once home to dinosaurs. Don’t miss a visit to the delightful Crags View Wild Care Centre, where injured antelope, small mammals and indigenous birds are looked after.
