Kwazulu Natal: Umhlanga
Umhlanga, with golden beach sands, sparkling sea and sunny skies has been the ideal holiday destination just north of Durban since the first beach cottage built here in 1869. The signature red and white Umhlanga Lighthouse is a beacon to land, sea and air travellers alike.
The golden coastline, stretching from Durban to the World Heritage site at iSimangaliso Wetland Park 200 km north of Umhlanga offers pristine beaches with surf interspersed with rocky bays with tidal pools and protected coves. Conditions are ideal for active water sport enthusiasts or young families wishing to paddle and build sand castles. The Umhlanga Promenade is a 3km long walkway extending from the Umhlanga Lagoon Reserve in the north, southwards.
With extensive indoor and outdoor entertainment, Umhlanga is a playground for visitors of all ages and interests. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing seaside break, romantic honeymoon, cultural experience, or fun family holiday Umhlanga is the place to be.
The warm Agalhas current of the Indian Ocean washes the eastern shores of Kwa-Zulu Natal including Umhlanga, this creates a temperate climate through the year, making it one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world.
