Top 6 reasons to visit Hibberdene

1. While away the daylight hours on the sandy beach and swim in the warm, inviting waves. The main beach’s esplanade has mini golf, a super tube and restaurant. Three of the beaches are patrolled by lifeguards and all are protected by shark nets.

2. Book a leisurely game of golf at the Port Shepstone Country Club. The 18-hole course is located alongside a river and visitors are welcome. If pressed for time, work on your short game at the 9-hole Mashie course at Blue Waters.

3. New to surfing? Why not take a one-on-one lesson with the guys at SA Surfari. The company provides the equipment (wetsuit and boards) and they should have you standing up in no time! Expert tutoring offered to anyone from 6 years and older.

4. Charter a boat to enjoy an exciting deep sea fishing trip to catch swordfish, cob and king mackerel. A licence is required and there are strict bag limits to allow the various species of fish time to recover.

5. Visit the Riverbend Crocodile Farm on a Sunday afternoon to watch a weekly feeding of the hundreds of Nile crocodiles on the farm. The venue has an education centre and presentations are given on the lifecycle of this enormous reptile.

6. Meet up with the locals at the Jolly Roger Fun Pub and Grub for a drink and excellent value meal. The restaurant overlooks the ocean and has a busy outdoor seating area.
