Self-drive day trips on sand and bush tracks from the Kosi Bay area to remote beaches such as Black Rock and Lala Nek. Kosi Bay Casitas advises taking Tracks4Africa or a good GPS map, or a local guide. Permits are needed, and Black Rock is limited to ten vehicles a day. Both beaches are good for snorkelling at low tide and for surf fishing.

Along the way

  • Black Rock (10 vehicles a day)
  • Lala Nek
  • Snorkelling at low tide
  • Permits required

Before you drive it

  • Check with the operator for closures after rain. Conditions change faster than any website.
  • Tell someone your route and your expected time out.
  • Carry recovery gear you know how to use, and rated recovery points on the vehicle. See our recovery gear spec comparison.
