“Waste of time, petrol and holiday destination.
NO FREE ACCESS TO THE BEACH
R120 Dec 2014...for 2 people and a car to go see if its glassy enough for a paddle
Not a surfers spot, just up country destination for fishermen and divers .. drunken at that, can't understand it as no alcohol is allowed on any beach or public area
So if you would like to hang out at Boksburg by the Sea, then pull in,
for a Surfie?...BAH!..never again”

“Sodwana Bay is not a great spot to go surfing. It is one of the top Scuba Diving and Deep Sea fishing sites in the world, so there are boats launching throughout the day.”
