Beaches in Eswatini
Including Maguga Dam Shoreline. On the map.
The vibe
Eswatini is a landlocked country and does not have a coastline, so beach visits are geographically impossible here. Travelers looking for sand and surf typically head to neighboring countries instead.

Located in the scenic Hhohho region, this reservoir offers a rare inland swimming and leisure spot in landlocked Eswatini. The shoreline provides a refreshing escape with calm waters set against the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
Access. Accessible by car via the MR1 road; facilities are centered around the nearby lodge and dam viewing areas.
Notes. Swimming is generally restricted to designated areas near the lodge due to the nature of the dam.
