About Margate

Margate offers sunny beaches and clear waters that draw visitors for seaside relaxation and outdoor fun. The area features a mix of modern amenities and natural beauty, making it an appealing spot for families and individuals seeking a break. With its coastal vibe, it's a solid choice for those wanting to explore South Africa's eastern shores.

Margate is a popular seaside destination on South Africa's east coast, known for its inviting beaches and gentle waves. The town sits along the Indian Ocean, with sandy shores that stretch for miles and provide ample space for sunbathing and casual strolls. Local spots like the Margate Pier offer views of the sea and opportunities for fishing, while nearby areas include the scenic Uvongo River and its cascading waterfall, just a short drive away. This combination of natural features makes the town a draw for those interested in coastal exploration.

The history of Margate dates back to the early 20th century when it developed as a holiday retreat for people from inland cities. Early settlers built holiday homes here, drawn by the mild climate and easy access from Durban, which is about 120 kilometers to the north. Over time, the area grew with the addition of shops and entertainment venues, creating a lively community atmosphere. Ramsgate, a neighboring village, adds to the appeal with its quieter beaches and golf courses, providing variety for visitors.

Visitors to Margate can enjoy a range of water-based activities such as swimming and boating in the warm ocean. The town also has walking paths that lead through coastal dunes and along the shoreline, offering chances to spot local wildlife including birds and marine life. For those interested in culture, the nearby South Coast Mall provides shopping and dining options with a focus on regional flavors. Margate accommodation varies from beachfront rentals to cozy guesthouses, catering to different preferences and budgets.

In the evenings, the town quiets down, allowing for peaceful dinners at seaside restaurants. The surrounding region includes nature reserves where one can hike or observe flora and fauna, adding depth to a stay. Overall, Margate serves as a practical base for exploring the broader KwaZulu-Natal coastline.
