Kosi Bay is a series of four interlinked lakes in the Maputuland area of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
The lakes form part of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kosi Bay is particularly famous for the traditional fish traps built to trap fish moving in and out of the estuary with the tide. The closest town is Manguzi, some 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) away from it. Kosi Bay estuary is only 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Mozambique border. It is possible to walk from the estuary to Ponta da Oura in only an hour or so. It is one of the quietest beaches in South Africa.
Bird species in the area include the Palm-nut Vulture, White-backed Night-heron, and the kingfisher. Duiker, hippopotamus, crocodiles and Bull sharks are also present, and loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach. The Bay is noted for its aggressive Bull shark population. The sharks are locally known as Zambesi[1].
