Tour 1
Oslo Beach | Shelly Beach | St Michaels | Uvongo

Beaches for surfing and swimming, scuba diving and deep sea fishing expeditions, and whale-watching sites, are just some of the attractions of an area that will never disappoint...

Shelly Beach is a bustling coastal centre and well known ski-boat launch for deep-sea fishing, whale and dolphin watching trips, and scuba-diving expeditions. Just off-shore lie the Protea Banks, a deep dive site famous for the ragged tooth shark sightings.
St Mike’s is a famous surfing and swimming beach, while Uvongo is blessed with a picturesque lagoon that stretches back from the beach to a beautiful little waterfall.

You are entering an exciting stretch of the South Coast where the holiday pulse starts to quicken... Shelly Beach, St Mikes and Uvongo are small towns geared to accommodate visitors who come here to enjoy the sun, surf, hospitality and nightlife.
