About Port Edward

Port Edward is right at the KZN and Eastern Cape border, at the mouth of the Mzimkulu River, and you get there via the N2 hugging the coast from Durban side or up from the Wild Coast. It's popular with holidaymakers coming from as far as Phoenix and Flagstaff, so expect long weekend traffic. There are about 2 fast chargers nearby if you're driving electric. The real highlight is that wide sandbar where the Mzimkulu meets the sea, a proper south coast landmark.
