About Trafalgar Beach
Just north of Port Edward on the beautiful South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal is the idyllic Trafalgar Beach. It remains quiet, tranquil and absolutely stunning to see. And, what’s more, it is a Blue Flag beach, which means that it meets a number of strict criteria regarding its safety, cleanness, amenities, ecological value, and educational potential. Being awarded Blue Flag status sets Trafalgar leagues ahead as a really fabulous beach.
The water is warm, thanks to its being fed by the Indian Ocean, and the waves are frequented by keen surfers. It is also popular for swimming, body-boarding, stand-up paddling, and snorkelling; and is protected by shark nets and life guards. The marine life is intriguing to see in its natural habitat, so visitors are urged to remember their goggles and snorkel and to take a peek under the surface of the blue. There are fossil beds here that are believed to be some 90 million years old, and these offer plenty to see underwater
