Umngazana beach II (Eastern Cape) is located outside the Umngazi Mouth settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"Nice and clean tranquil cottage with a great view, very safe and we loved the bathroom. We also had a stroll down to the beach and explored the cave. It was beautiful and peaceful. Just bring your own drinking water and mosquito repellent and maybe food, no shops nearby. Also dont go down the driveway. It's so steep It is almost impossible to get back up with a normal car. T..."
