Lying just south of Scottburgh, Park Rynie offers caravanners accommodation right on the beach.

Park Rynie, which was named after Renetta 'Rynie' Hoffman , the wife of the man on whose farm the town now stands. The beach focus lies south of the town centre at Rocky Bay where all that remains of the old whaling station built before world war one, is a weathered stone promontory. This sheltered beach is home to the local ski-boat club while divers and bathers are also drawn to this area. The business centre includes hotels, holiday cottages and caravan parks.

Relics of the whaling station built here before the First World War, the rocky pier and slipway used by ski-boats now serve as launching points for the more leisurely pursuit of fishing. As is the case with most of this coastline, this is excellent deep-sea diving territory with Cowrie Reef sporting spectacular plant life, caves, gullies and swim-throughs. Marine life varies from small reef fish right through to Zambezi sharks, dolphins and game fish. And although only 2km from the beach and a 4.5km boat ride from the launching site visibility is good in this dive spot which ranges from some 16 to 26m.
