Park Rynie Beach

Found on South Africa’s southern stretch of Indian Ocean coastline, on what has been designated the Umdoni Coast in KwaZulu-Natal, Park Rynie Beach is such a beautiful destination that a small resort town has developed around it.

One of the region’s more rugged beaches, Park Rynie Beach is a blend of rock pools and good quality sand, with the rocks often separating the sand from the ocean. There number below the surface also means that swimming isn’t recommended from Park Rynie Beach. However, those with the desire to stretch their water wings can still do so in a large tidal pool specially built for the purpose.

Visitors shouldn’t find parking to be an issue, with a good number of bays (and some of the best views) available just above the beach, from where steps lead onto the sand, and a path to the tidal pool.
