Discover the Tranquil Beauty of Kosi Bay Mouth

Getting There

• Car

  From the main town of St. Lucia, head north on the R618 towards the town of Mtubatuba. After approximately 30 kilometers, take the turnoff onto the R22 towards Kosi Bay. Continue on the R22 for about 50 kilometers until you reach the turnoff for Kosi Bay Mouth Road. Follow Kosi Bay Mouth Road for about 10 kilometers until you reach the entrance to the Kosi Bay Mouth area. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for gravel roads, as the last stretch may require a 4x4 vehicle during rainy seasons.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, take a local taxi (minibus) from St. Lucia to Kosi Bay. The taxis operate frequently and will drop you off at the entrance of Kosi Bay Mouth Road. From there, you may need to walk or arrange for a local taxi to take you the remaining 10 kilometers to the mouth itself, as the road can be less accessible.

• Walking

  For adventurous travelers, if you find yourself at the entrance to Kosi Bay Mouth Road after arriving by public transport, you can walk the last 10 kilometers. The area is known for its scenic beauty, but be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The walk may take approximately 2-3 hours.

• 4x4 Hire

  If you prefer more comfort, consider renting a 4x4 vehicle from St. Lucia, which will allow you to navigate the rougher roads leading to Kosi Bay Mouth. This option gives you the flexibility to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Prices for 4x4 rentals vary based on the vehicle model and rental duration.
