Margate, South Africa

Margate is a tourist trap masquerading as a seaside town, with its subtropical climate drawing inland residents to clog the roads during peak seasons. While the town boasts the third highest influx of new visitors in South Africa, a Blue Flag beach, and a lively central business district, the reliance on tourism has created a persistent bureaucratic headache for residents. With the bulk of the town's earnings coming from hospitality, Margate is really only suitable for those who can tolerate the seasonal influx and administrative burdens of living in a resort destination.
