Margate Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Busy vibe within the town in the holiday season but out of season this place cranks. The morning wave is the best form 5:00 to 7:00.
Atmosphere:
Margate Beach is far too busy in the holiday season (nov/dec) and posers from jozi come down and cant surf but claim too. So come out of season and you'll enjoy.
Additional Info:
Long streching beach in which the town borders.
