|
Port Shepstone, situated at the mouth of the Mzimkulu River, is the chief town and commercial and administrative center of the Hibiscus Coast, the most southerly stretch of coast in KwaZulu/Natal. The first settlers came here because of the marble in the area, and after building a harbor founded the town in 1882. Until 1901, when the railroad from Durban reached Port Shepstone, all the agricultural products of the area had to be sent by ship to Durban.
Port Shepstone's tourist attractions are a very beautiful golf course, fishing and water sports in the sheltered estuary of the river and magnificent beaches within easy reach of the town, which is well supplied with hotels.
