DURBAN
- KWAZULU-NATAL TRAVEL GUIDE - SOUTH AFRICA
|
|
| 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.
The
Golden Mile: |
|
| 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'.
