The magical atmosphere of the Kapiti Coast landscape that we know so well today, was created by gigantic earthquakes 200 million years ago. The upheavals exposed a 10 km long block of rock that now sits as an island 5.6km from the mainland and protects a series of small settlements from the westerly gales. Behind, the coast is sheltered from the south by the massive Tararua Ranges.

This is one of the most popular resorts on the sunny KwaZulu Natal South Coast, famous for its strelitzia (bird of paradise) flowers. An attempt was made to use the bay to export sugar but it offered scant shelter from rough seas. However, boats found rich fishing grounds nearby at the Aliwal Shoal. A lighthouse was built in 1892 to mark the shoal, but was eventually moved to Port Shepstone. The village soon became a thriving resort and trading centre as it is today. Apart from a fine beach with shark-protected bathing and tidal pools, Scottburgh has a crocodile breeding farm, miniature railway and a bird watching hide in the coastal forest.
