Area Info

Port Edward is a small resort town on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, nestled between the warm Indian Ocean and the rolling hills of KwaZulu-Natal.

Silver Beach is a fantastic spot for swimming, sunbathing, boating, snorkelling, and scuba diving to see the San Joao Shipwreck hidden just 300m offshore. The rock, surf, river, and lagoon all offer great challenges for fishing which is one of the most popular pastimes in Port Edward. A ski boat launch facility is available at the main beach, and the beachfront hosts the longest super tube in South Africa.

One of the biggest draw cards to Port Edward is the Sardine Run; an incredible natural phenomenon where millions of sardines head north from the Eastern Cape during June/July and cause a feeding frenzy of dolphins, sharks, and birds that can be seen from the water, land, and air.

The lush forests of Port Edward are great for hiking, home to wildlife and over 200 species of birds. Explore Umtamvuna Nature Reserve (9km) or Mpenjati Nature Reserve (12km), with its abundance of wetlands, dune forests, grassland, and lagoon.

Wild Coast Sun Resort is known for its casino and water park. Kids will love Wild Waves Water Park which has many super tubes, river rides, speed slides, swimming pools, an Aquaplay area, and a Wimpy.

Tragedy Hill is a great sightseeing spot overlooking Silver Beach. It was named after Zulu warriors massacred the family of pioneer Henry Flynn due to confusion over stolen cattle. The devastated Zulu King ordered the man who started the rumour to be executed by one of the surviving settlers who was given 5 heads of cattle as a reward.
