Munster is a quiet coastal village in Port Edward, situated along the R61 Provincial Route on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal Province in South Africa.
Located approximately 9 km north of Port Edward and 37 km south-west of Port Shepstone, between Palm Beach and Glenmore, Munster falls within the Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality, which is part of the Ugu District Municipality.
Munster can be accessed by turning off the R61 Highway (to Port Edward and Port Shepstone) onto Munster Road (the single access road into Munster).
Munster has a small airfield, Munster Airfield, which is located at the entrance of the village along the R61 Provincial Route.
Tourism
Munster Beach enjoys a backdrop of picturesque coastal vegetation, which is home to birds and bugs, adding to the biodiversity.
The mouth of the Tongazi River has made it a perfect place for launching boats, and Glenmore Beach is often the site of beauty and fishing competitions. The annual Sardine Run, which beached in Glenmore Bay in 2000 and 2001, attracts such large schools of dolphins that need to be seen to be believed.
Recreation
Munster Sports Club is a local sports complex offering bowls, tennis, and squash facilities. The area is also home to the Glenmore Ski-Boat Club.
