Durban’s Beachfront Promenade
Walkers, cyclists and joggers make daily use of the Durban beachfront promenade, a paved walkway linking Blue Lagoon in the north with Addington in the south. Park anywhere along the route and take a leisurely stroll with many like-minded individuals who're out to enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine.
Durban (eThekwini) is justifiably proud of its Golden Mile – a stretch of some of the safest swimming beaches in South Africa.
Durban's Beaches
Durban’s beaches lie along a stretch of golden sand known locally as the Golden Mile. From Blue Lagoon's fishing spot to the sunken Vetch's Pier, a host of flat, sandy beaches invite visitors to set down umbrellas and towels and while away hours in the sun.
Blessed with warm water, 320 days a year of warmth and sun, and seemingly endless stretches of sandy beaches, you'll soon understand why Durban (eThekwini) is everyone's favourite seaside playground.
