Wildlife

Whales, Dolphins & Marine Life

The South Coast is one of the best places in South Africa to watch humpback whales on their annual migration (June to November). Dolphins are resident year-round and can often be spotted surfing the breaks right from the beach.

For divers, the South Coast's warm Indian Ocean waters offer rich reefs, bull sharks, Zambezi rays and leatherback turtles. Aliwal Shoal, an hour up the coast, is ranked among the world's top dive sites.
