Hibberdene

The Hibberdene region is one of KwaZulu-Natal South Coast’s favorite holiday destinations - and for a very good reason. Centrally positioned, Hibberdene is within easy reach of all the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast has to offer, including a choice of beaches.

The South Coast of Kwazulu Natal is a prime holiday destination, for South Africans and international visitors. With the warm Indian Ocean tumbling onto clean sandy beaches the South Coast is synonymous with fun in the sun – and right in the heart of this sun-soaked paradise is the laid-back town of Margate and its sister town Hibberdene.

There is plenty of action on offer, especially during school holidays. Beauty competitions, live music, beach games, water sport and more attract the young and energetic to join in the fun, while families with little ones will enjoy the play area complete with shallow pools. Vendors line the pavements selling everything from fresh fruit to rubber flip-flops. If the hustle and bustle of the main beach doesn’t suit you, take a stroll along some of the other beaches, enjoying the serenity of lush sub-tropical vegetation to the one side and the ocean to the other.

The destination is a mid-winter magnet for up-country South Africans, as they escape the sub-zero temperatures of the Free State and Gauteng for the mild climate of the South Coast. An added bonus of visiting in June and July is the annual Sardine Run, with seemingly endless shoals of these silvery little fish attracting dolphins, sharks and even whales - generating much excitement among residents and visitors alike.
