South Africa has more than 3,000 kilometres of coastline, yet over 15 million South Africans have never been to the beach or seen the ocean.

For Corona, the beach is more than just a place. It’s a feeling, a state of mind, and a connection with nature that everyone deserves to experience.

As part of Corona’s 100 years of This Is Living, and through their Beach100 platform, we documented the stories of four South Africans experiencing the magic and joy of the beach for the very first time.
