Durban seafront has exerted
a magnetic pull since time immemorial... first attracting San
hunter-gatherers of the Stone Age from their icy mountain fastness with
the mildest winter imaginable. Iron Age peoples from Central Africa
began infiltrating about two thousand years ago...pirates and
shipwrecked European explorers of the modern era made temporary homes
here during the 1700s...and in 1824,
British
adventurers deceived King Shaka and raised the Union Jack over this gem
of his recently-founded Zulu realm.

This quaint, rather antiquated
description of Durban beachfront - and the fact that it's still popularly
used - bears witness to both its radiant beauty and the easy-going charm
that evokes memories of 'modest' bathing suits and sepia-tinged holiday
photographs. Merely a few paces from an enticing selection of
international-class, ultra-modern and meticulously maintained
colonial-style tourist accommodation, clean golden sands and warm Indian
Ocean beckon with irresistible allure. Protected year round by shark nets
and expert lifeguards, our sea has rhythm...and invites you to leap and
frolic in waves perfect for surfing and body-boarding 'aquabatics'.
