Beach overall scores
Ivy beach (KwaZulu-Natal) is located outside the Ivy Beach 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Ivy beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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
"The powdery sand of this beach is truly delightful. I am enamored with this coastal haven. The beach walks here are breathtaking, and I relish taking a dip in the ocean's balmy waters.
Pooches are welcome to join in on the fun, but owners must be sure to tidy up after them. We must also be mindful of the protected sand dunes and treat them with reverence."
Landon Mercer
"This beach is an absolute gem! Don't let the playful opening fool you - I couldn't recommend it more highly. The sand is so incredibly fine, it feels like walking on clouds. My feet were in heaven!"
