Park Rynie is a small resort town on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It was established in 1857 and named after Renetta (Rynie) Hoffman, wife of one of the two landlords who developed the area. There was a whaling station here before World War I. Neighbouring towns and settlements include Scottburgh, Rocky Bay, Pennington, and Umzinto.
