Facilities
Other facilities in Munster include a small airfield that lies east of the R61, many guest houses in the area, a service station and pharmacy.
Tourism
Munster Beach enjoys a backdrop of picturesque coastal vegetation, which is home to birds and bugs, adding to the biodiversity.[2]
The mouth of the iThongasi River has made it a perfect place for launching boats, and Glenmore Beach is often the site of beauty and fishing competitions. The annual Sardine Run, which beached in Glenmore Bay in 2000 and 2001, attracts such large schools of dolphin that need to be seen to be believed. [3][4]

Glenmore
Glenmore is a small coastal village south of Munster, beyond the iThongasi River. Although distinct from Munster, it shares the same postal code.[5]
Glenmore Beach lies along the same stretch as Munster Beach, which can cause confusion, especially since Munster’s swimming and surfing bay is called Glenmore Beach.[6][7]
In the 2001 and 2011 censuses, Glenmore was grouped under Leisure Crest, while Munster was inexplicably divided into Glenmore and Glenmore Beach.
