Park Rynie, South Coast

Park Rynie is situated in the Umdoni Coast in KwaZulu Natal. Park Rynie is a small village, tranquil and unique, offering excellent holiday getaways. Rocky Bay is a beautiful swimming beach with shark nets for safe swimming as well as excellent tidal pools. A whaling station was built here during World War I and the breakwater built by the whaling company is known as Rocky Bay Pier.
