Long golden beaches and endless sunny days make the Hibiscus Coast the perfect playground for young and old.Margate's Blue Flag beach is perhaps the most famous of all of the Hibiscus Coasts beaches. It is a mile of perfect sand and surf. Everything is close to the beach, craft shops, boutiques, restaurants. This wide sandy beach buzzes in season with music concerts and Margate’s famous New Year Eve 'Beach Party'.

Blue flag beaches are beaches that meet certain international standards which include swimming water quality, safety, access and other amenities.

The following is a list of the beaches of this area. For more information, please contact the one of the Hibiscus Coast tourism information offices or make use of the South Coast beach database.
