The South Coast has beautiful swimming beaches, among them beaches which have the coveted Blue Flag Status. Marina Beach has retained its Blue Flag Status for the 2022/2023 season as well its longevity in the programme –  21 consecutive years – a milestone achievement.

The internationally recognised Blue Flag programme is an eco-award given to beaches that meet strict standards of excellence in safety, cleanliness, provision of amenities, environmental information and management. At Marina Beach, you can sunbathe, kayak and do kiteboarding. It’s buzzing in season with festive fun and has a tidal pool and sometimes a natural, sun-drenched pool on the beach, ideal for supervised little ones.

Visit the Southbroom Whale Deck, Bushbuck Trail and KwaXolo San paintings nearby.
