Port Shepstone

South Africa , South Africa

Port Shepstone is a vibrant coastal town on South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal South Coast at the mouth of the Mzimkhulu River, serving as the region's main administrative, commercial, and industrial hub about 120 km south of Durban between Hibberdene and Margate.

Founded in 1867 after marble discoveries spurred settlement and named for British statesman Sir Theophilus Shepstone, it blends economic activity like sugar milling, manufacturing in Marburg suburb, and retail at the new Port Shepstone Mall with tourism drawing visitors to its beaches, tidal pool, fishing, surfing, and proximity to Oribi Gorge adventures.

This economic gateway amid the Hibiscus Coast offers a mix of urban energy, natural beauty, and access to resorts like Shelly Beach while supporting surrounding farms and communities.
