About Southbroom

Few coastal villages can boast easy access along the full extent of their coastline.  Even fewer can say that their natural heritage has not given way to high-rise hotels and apartment blocks. Southbroom enjoys a 4-kilometre sandy Indian Ocean beach frontage and has protected its coastal bush with passion. The green lungs provided by the well-known Southbroom Golf Club, Frederika Nature Preserve and 350,000 m2 of land zoned to conservation enhance the lush green tropical paradise that nestles between the Mbizane and Kaba Rivers.  

Southbroom boasts two recognised swimming beaches and the coastal walk between them is truly spectacular, thanks to the pristine condition of the primary dunes. Its two tidal pools further ensure that the needs of every beachcomber are satisfied.

The village includes tennis and bowls clubs and adequate retail facilities for one’s daily needs. More comprehensive shopping is provided by the nearby towns of Ramsgate, Margate and Shelly Beach. 

Southbroom has active community initiatives that coordinate to ensure that the civic pride, value and lifestyle pleasures of the village are protected and maintained. Bask in the spirit of the village, it is one you can proudly call your home away from home.
