Port Edward is a small resort town situated on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa,
 right on the Eastern Cape Province border.
Port Edward is a tourist resort for seasonal visitors from more affluent regions of South Africa.
 The coastline between here and Port Shepstone to the north is popularly known as the Hibiscus Coast
 because of its lush sub-tropical gardens. There are many tourist seasons that influence Port Edward
 but the most significant is the Christmas/New Year period spanning from early December to mid-January.
 Port Edward's Silver Beach (main beach) hosts an annual New Year's Eve party frequented by youths whilst on New Year's Day itself, families populate the beach for continued celebrations.
 Another main season coincides with the Sardine Run natural phenomenon
usually occurring from late May to mid-July. 
Recently large retail franchises (Boxer Superstores, Shoprite Holdings) have shown interest in Port Edward. With the local economy growing, the town is set for a bright future.
