Information on Zinkwazi Beach, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Zinkwazi Beach is a small town on the North Coast of the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. It is well known for its lagoon, which is an estuary of the Zinkwazi River. The lagoon provides boating, fishing and birdwatching.

Zinkwazi is well known for its magnificent bird life and its proximity to the Zululand Birding Route - a conservation project that promotes birding tourism by offering up to date information, local guides, itineraries and brochures for birders in an area where some 600 species have been recorded. The lagoon of Zinkwazi opens on to a protected, safe beach that is just one of several beaches along this coast that form part of a nature conservancy, including lush indigenous forests, tropical palms and endless beaches both south and north of this charming little village.
