Hibiscus Coast

The Hibiscus Coast is the most southerly stretch of coast in KwaZulu/Natal, extending for 50km/30mi from Hibberdene in the north to Port Edward in the south. To the north of it is the Sunshine Coast. It is at its busiest around Christmas, when many South African families come to spend their holidays here and it is almost impossible to find accommodation in the coastal resorts. At many points the coast is edged by evergreen tropical forest. Innumerable rivers and streams flow into the sea along the coast, forming sheltered lagoons at their mouths.
