The drive is not boring and has alot of scenery to offer. One of the best drives you can possibly take. Margate is not popular for the sake of being popular. The weather is perfect and sunny throughout most of the year. It is a popular seaside resort town offering some of the best diving on the South African coast. Margate has perfect sub-tropical weather teamed with golden beaches, coastal forests. There is an abundance of tropical fish and coral reefs due to the warm Indian Ocean current that flows across the coastline. Margate is the best place for diving as there are schools of fish and groups of sharks that congregate at various diving sites. Some diving destinations that you have to make your way to with your south coast car hire rental vehicle include Adda Reef and Deep Salmon. You can also enjoy other water sports like canoeing, boardsailing, boating and skiing. Make sure that your Margate car rental is big enough to accommodate your swimming gear.
