Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Margate Beach?
The best area to stay in Margate Beach is along the beachfront, particularly near the main Margate Beach promenade, or slightly north towards Uvongo.

The main Margate Beach area is the heart of the town's activity. Hotels and self-catering apartments here boast direct access to the sandy shores and the bustling promenade, which is lined with various dining options and small shops. This central location means you're just steps away from the iconic Margate Pier and the tidal pool, offering easy access to swimming and sunbathing.

Families often find this area great due to its immediate proximity to the beach and numerous family-friendly activities. The shallow tidal pool provides a secure swimming spot for children, and there are often street performers and vendors along the promenade during peak season, adding to the holiday atmosphere. Many accommodations offer direct beach access, simplifying trips with beach gear.

For couples seeking a slightly more tranquil setting with excellent views, the Uvongo area, just a short drive north of central Margate, is an excellent choice. Uvongo Beach is known for its beautiful waterfall that cascades directly into the lagoon, creating a picturesque backdrop.
When is the best time to go to Margate Beach?
The best time to go to Margate Beach is during the South African winter months, from May to July, for comfortable weather and the renowned sardine run.

During this period, the weather is generally mild and sunny, with less humidity than the summer months, making it pleasant for outdoor activities and beach visits. It's an excellent time for couples or solo travellers looking for a relaxing escape with agreeable temperatures.

This timeframe also coincides with the spectacular sardine run, a natural phenomenon where billions of sardines migrate northwards along the KwaZulu-Natal coast. It attracts marine life like dolphins, sharks, and whales, offering unparalleled opportunities for diving, snorkelling, and boat trips to witness this incredible event. For nature enthusiasts, this is the highlight of the year.

While the summer months (December to February) are also popular, they can be very hot and humid, and the beaches tend to be much busier due to school holidays.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Margate Beach?
Margate Beach offers a few distinct areas for evening entertainment.

The main strip along Marine Drive is where you'll find the most concentrated nightlife. It features a selection of pubs, cocktail bars, and some venues with live music or DJs playing popular hits. Many of these spots are close to the beach and get busy during peak season.

For a slightly different feel, some of the larger resorts and hotels in the wider Margate area have their own bars and lounges. These often cater to guests with a more relaxed atmosphere, sometimes offering themed nights or quieter entertainment.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if cancelled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Margate Beach.
