Durban - North Coast

North Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, is renowned for its endless beaches and breathtaking scenery. It is the place where the great Zulu King, Shaka, was buried and features dozens of sites linked to this warrior and his legacy. Its rich Indian influence also makes for a fascinating voyage of discovery.
The North Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, stretches from Zimbali in the south to the Thukela River in the north.
While beaches, battle sites and heritage routes comprise the major North Coast attractions, the coastal towns of Umhlanga Rocks, Ballito, Salt Rock, Umdloti and Zinkwazi offer up endless North Coast activities.

KwaZulu Natal's North Coast is also known as the Dolphin Coast due to the hundreds of bottlenose dolphins that frequent the coast. They can be seen all year round, frolicking in the warm waters just off shore.
