Area Info

Tucked away on KwaZulu-Natal’s scenic South Coast, Southport is a delightful seaside village located just 8 to 10 minutes from the centre of Port Shepstone. With its calm, welcoming atmosphere and natural coastal charm, it’s an ideal spot for travellers wanting a quiet escape without straying too far from the comforts of modern life. For those in the accommodation industry, Southport presents the perfect mix of tranquillity, easy access, and visitor appeal.

At the heart of Southport is its pristine Blue Flag beach—a favourite for families, couples, and retirees. Shaded by native Milkwood trees, the beach is known for its calm waters, safe swimming, and gentle rock pools, offering a peaceful setting for a day of sun and sea. Lifeguards and on-site amenities add to its appeal, especially for those travelling with children.

Compared to busier hubs like Margate or Shelly Beach, Southport offers a more laid-back, uncrowded experience, yet still provides quick access to shopping malls, healthcare facilities, and restaurants. Conveniently positioned along the R102, it's a popular choice for road-trippers and holidaymakers exploring the broader South Coast.

Southport caters to a broad audience. Families enjoy the open, child-friendly spaces; couples are drawn to the privacy and slower pace; and retirees or seasonal residents often settle in for longer stays. While peak travel seasons—such as school holidays—see the highest bookings, there’s growing interest in the off-season from remote workers and wellness seekers looking for a peaceful break from city life.

Beyond the beach, visitors can enjoy a variety of local attractions. These include the dramatic landscapes of Oribi Gorge, world-class diving at Aliwal Shoal, nearby golf courses, nature trails, local markets, and unique destinations like Mac Banana and the Port Shepstone Museum. Southport also lies along the route of the famous Sardine Run, offering an exciting seasonal draw that adds to its off-peak charm.

In short, Southport is a hidden gem with wide-ranging appeal and plenty of potential for those in the tourism and accommodation sector.
