The KZN South Coast is shaping up as a strong Easter option for families, beachgoers, and day trippers.
South Coast Tourism says Easter remains a key travel period for the district, and its 2026 listings point to everything from egg hunts and fun walks to inland adventure and beach time.
For a simple seaside break, the region’s beaches remain the obvious drawcard.

The South Coast has eight full Blue Flag beaches, including Trafalgar, Marina, Ramsgate, St Michaels, Umzumbe, Southport, Hibberdene and Pennington.
The beaches are protected by anti-shark measures and lifeguards, making the coast an easy family base over the holiday.
Families chasing Easter-themed outings have several event options.
South Coast Tourism lists an Easter egg hunt at Dino Park SA in Melville on 4 and 5 April, a colour fun walk at Scottburgh Beach on 4 April, and an Easter egg hunt at Tanglewood Forest in Ramsgate on 4 April.
There is also an Easter Bunny day at Mac Banana, in Munster, near Port Edward, on 5 April.
For visitors wanting more than beach towels and chocolate eggs, the inland attractions are worth the drive. Wild 5 Adventures in Oribi Gorge offers ziplining, abseiling and hiking, while Lake Eland has zipline tours, a suspension bridge, game drives, horse riding and day visitor access from 7 am to 5 pm..
