The coastal city of Durban’s Golden Mile is a famous length of gleaming sand that is a magnet for tourists to the area. A fashionable seaside destination, the beach becomes busy with thousands of domestic tourists in the summer months. Segmented by piers, the wide beach and its adjacent promenade are edged by apartment blocks and hostels, with restaurants and nightclubs that create a vibrancy in the area.
The South Beach has become known as a surfers paradise and is popular with young people hanging out and learning to surf, while the Blue Lagoon at the mouth of the Umgeni River is a wonderful place for picnics and fishing. All of the breathtaking beaches along this glimmering Golden Mile are protected by shark nets and overlooked by lifeguards, so swimming in the warmth of the Indian Ocean is safe and fun year-round.
