Zinkwazi Beach is one of the oldest holiday resorts at the North Coast. In its beginnings wealthy "sugar barons" from Natal spent their weekends and holidays here. This subtropical paradise lies at the mouth of the Zinkwazi river, which forms a lagoon - seven kilometres in length - and only reaches the sea for a shorter period during the rainy season
The lagoon with its clean water is particularly rich in small fish and crabs. That is why Zinkwazi is a bird paradise. More than 250 species were registered here, amongst them many Kingfisher varieties, the Purple Crested Lourie, very popular in KwaZulu-Natal, or the gifted Natal Robin, which is able to perfectly imitate the call of the African Fish Eagle
