1. Experience a Culturally Unique Rickshaw Ride

Head to the beautiful Margate Beach for a unique Rickshaw Ride along the beachfront. Operated by Nethezeka Tourist Transport and Projects, visitors to Margate Beach can now enjoy a spectacular seaside tour before spending a day swimming, surfing or relaxing on the golden sands.

2. Visit the world's smallest desert

In Port Edward near the Wild Coast, visitors will find a number of exciting tourism offerings. One of these is the Red Desert Nature Reserve which – at only 200-metres in diameter – is the world’s smallest desert. The beautiful red soil of this archaeologically significant site contrasts against the green coastal forests and sparkling blue Indian Ocean!

3. Experience Great Adventures in The Countryside

Enjoy a taste of the local culture through the Great Drives Out experiences. This is an authentic rural excursion that takes visitors into the area’s hinterland for something truly memorable. There’s the KwaXolo Caves Adventures, a mountainside hike along a cable-and-rung system to caves covered in ancient San artwork. The KwaNzimakwe Multi-Trails is a lovely trail network from Mpenjati Nature Reserve and, just inland of Shelly Beach is the Nyandezulu Experience, a guided tour across the Ntantana Mountain. Discover more about the local history at Ntelezi Msani Heritage Centre, a facility that touches on African history, indigenous knowledge, culture and creative arts.

4. Go to a Trendy Beach Club and Enjoy Shisanyama

Visitors in search of mouthwatering braai meat in a great outdoor setting should stop in at Senzi’s Shisanyama in Margate. The restaurant is centrally located and gives patrons a great opportunity to sample the local flavour.

This beachside club is a turnkey solution for all corporate function requirements, catering for everything from small get-togethers to larger conferences and celebratory events. Then for the thrill of night life there’s newly opened Level 10 Lounge, Bar and Grill. Found in the heart of Margate, it offers a serene day setting with expansive views and great meals, transitioning to the ultimate night club when the sun sets. The from the exclusive VIP section to the illuminated dance floor, bar and pool area, customers are kept entertained.

5. Hike at Mzamba Fossils and Petrified Forest

The incredible Petrified Forest has great hikes among the trees which were actually washed down river and deposited in the area millions of years ago. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of this ancient forest, which includes viewing the Mzamba fossils – a series of marine fossil beds exposed along the prominent reefs near the Mzamba River.
