BEACHES
By far the most popular eco-outing that our coastal
village offers, is a day spent on a clean, un-spoilt beach.
Main beach
offers excellent swimming and surfing and the natural elevation of the headland
provides breathtaking views of the ocean. The Imbezane lagoon is fun for
little ones and canoeists - no powered crafts are permitted - and a good variety of bird life
can be seen on its tranquil waters and shores. The
deck of the
Riptide restaurant is a lovely setting with lagoon and sea views. At present, lifeguards are on duty in season only.
Umkobi beach offers
a more wild experience with its thick coastal vegetation. Fisherman enjoy
the Marina beach rocks and bird life abounds on the Umkobi lagoon:
Gallinule, Moorhen, Dikkop, Egret, Duck, and the fantastic show that
the swallows provide, in summer, come sunset. Water mongoose are also active in and
out of the reeds. Lifeguards are on duty in season only and the Trattoria
restaurant affords excellent views of the lagoon.
