TRAVEL GUIDE, HIBISCUS COAST, KWAZULU-NATAL SOUTH COAST, SOUTH AFRICA
|
|
| Margate is a seaside
resort town in the south of the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, just about 20
kilometres southeast of Port Shepstone. The river which flows into the
sea at Margate is called "Nkhongweni" (place of entreaty) because the original
inhabitants were reputed to be so mean that travellers had to beg for hospitality.
In 1908, Henry Richardson, an English surveyor laid out the town and named
it Margate after another seaside resort on the northern coast of the county
of Kent, in the United Kingdom. It features attractive beaches for
swimming, snorkelling, and surfing. Many apartment buildings offer accommodation
for residents and visitors. Complemented by a nice shopping street and
lots of restaurants, pubs, and nightclubs, Margate is a spot where lots
of South Africans and foreign visitors spend their vacation. |

| Margate is busiest
during school and public holidays when inland residents travel to the coast.
Christmas and Easter are especially busy times, with Margate's main street
often clogged with heavy traffic during those times. Margate hit
the world headlines in 1922 (although this date is often disputed and stated
as 1924) when an enormous, white, furry creature (dubbed "Trunko" due to
it having an elephantine trunk) was washed up on the beach. Unfortunately
the "Margate monster" was too decomposed to be identified accurately. |
