BBC Lifestyle’s Listing Coastal South Africa: Meet the Agents Making Waves on South Africa’s Coastline
Every summer, as the year winds down, South Africans instinctively make their way to the coast. One could say it’s the ritual that marks both the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
From the golden beaches of Durban to the serene shores of the Garden Route and the wild, wind-swept beauty of the West Coast, the coastline comes alive.
What better way to take that journey, without packing a single bag? BBC Lifestyle (DStv Channel 174) invites viewers to take that journey from the comfort of their homes with Listing Coastal South Africa, exploring South Africa’s most breathtaking coastal properties and the lives of five talented estate agents. The 10-part series starts on Wednesdays 5 November 2025, with repeats Thursdays at 5pm on the channel.
The fourth instalment in BBC Studios’ acclaimed Listing franchise, following Listing Jozi, Listing Cape Town and Listing Mauritius, takes viewers on an extraordinary journey along South Africa’s coastline, from KwaZulu-Natal’s sun-drenched beaches to the windswept edges of the West Coast.
The drivers of this journey are its agents who bring a distinctive flair and story that reflects the diverse beauty of our shores.
