Durban and its attractions for beach lovers

Durban is a vibrant coastal city that offers a plethora of attractions for beach-loving travellers. Start your day with a stroll along the Golden Mile, a stunning stretch of beachfront promenade that beckons with its golden sands and inviting waves. Families will enjoy the uShaka Marine World, where you can explore an aquarium, indulge in thrilling water rides, and even get up close with dolphins. For a slice of local culture, visit the bustling Victoria Street Market, famous for its spices and handmade crafts, perfect for picking up unique souvenirs. Adventure seekers can try surfing at North Beach or take a leisurely paddle out in a kayak. After a day of exploration, the warm sunset views from the beachfront restaurants create a perfect ambience for relaxation. Staying in the beachfront area of Umhlanga or along the Golden Mile means you’re just steps away from both the beach and a variety of hotels that cater to your needs, providing luxurious amenities and attentive service, ensuring your family feels pampered and well cared for throughout your stay.
