Blue Flag Beaches Boost Property Market on KZN South Coast
Submitted by: Agnes MatladiThe KZN South Coast continues to shine as South Africa’s top coastal destination, proudly earning the title of “highest number of Blue Flag beaches in the province” this October. This recognition enhances the region's appeal, boosting interest in its property market as local and international investors take note of its potential.
“Blue Flag status is a massive drawcard for investors,” says Sam Wenger, Development Director of Serenity Hills, an eco-focused lifestyle estate on the KZN South Coast.
A Coastal Lifestyle of Choice
With 7 Blue Flag beaches and 5 Blue Flag Pilot beaches, the KZN South Coast offers pristine, safe, and high-quality environments for residents and visitors alike. It is also home to:
- 3 Marine Protected Areas, including world-class dive sites at Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks.

These features attract families, retirees, and remote workers seeking a serene yet active coastal lifestyle.
“The coastal lifestyle, subtropical climate, and affordable real estate make the KZN South Coast unmatched as a destination,” says Wenger.
