Renowned for its sport fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling, Sodwana is situated on the coast within the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, South Africa`s first World Heritage Site.
The reserve lies adjacent to Africa’s southern-most coral reefs.
The Maputoland and St Lucia Marine Reserves are linked to each other to form a continuous protected area stretching 150 km from the Mozambique border southwards to Cape Vidal and 3 nautical miles out to sea.
In summer, loggerhead and leatherback turtles come out of the sea to nest on the beaches.
