Public Transport, Tours, Airline & Travel Agencies

National car hire companies have offices in Margate and Scottburgh, and will deliver cars to most places on the South Coast. The completion of the new toll road from Hibberdene to Southbroom has brought the wonders of the South Coast even closer to your doorstep. The new road links with the existing road network so that you can choose your route.

You can either travel the length of the coast on the old South Coast main road which hugs the coast and goes through most of the coastal towns, or you can stick to the N2 freeway and toll road and zoom along in comfort a few kilometers inland, turning off to your destination.

The freeway/toll road option is pleasant, scenic drive that has reduced driving time from Durban to the lower South Coast by more than half an hour. Road access to the South Coast from further a field is easy and safe. If you are traveling on the main N3 route from Johannesburg to the coast, you slide off onto the N2 south just before entering Durban and just keep going.

Durban to the Umkomaas River bridge is an easy 35-minute drive. Port Shepstone is only an hour and ten minutes from Durban. If you are traveling from the Eastern Cape, the N2 takes you through Umtata and Kokstad to Harding, Paddock and then Port Shepstone. the Stretch between Harding and Paddock is currently being upgraded and widened.
