Coastal Spotters Network
The Coastal is building a network of eyes and ears along South Africa’s coastline.
From people who live, work, fish, sail, surf, swim and spend their days beside the ocean, we want to hear from you.
When you spot it, send it to us.
You don’t need to be a journalist, just curiosity.
Send a tip
Tell The Coastal quickly. No account needed.
Perfect when you’ve just spotted something and want the newsroom to know.

Join if you want to stay connected — tell us where you watch the coast, what you care about, and whether you’d like to hear about the WhatsApp community or freelance opportunities.
