After frequent sightings of bottlenose dolphins surfing the waves of the north coast of Kwazulu Natal, this seaside destination was dubbed the Dolphin Coast. The warm Indian Ocean, exquisite beaches, and subtropical beauty makes for the ideal seaside getaway.
A mere 45-minute drive from the city of Durban, stretching from Zimbali to Zinkwazi Beach, the warm waters of the Dolphin Coast are a prime destination for travellers and locals alike. A defining feature of this coastal destination are the rolling cane fields that mimic the ocean as gusts of wind make waves from their tall stalks.
Dolphin Coast offers an interesting array of activities and attractions. From surfing to swimming to fishing and more, the watersports options are endless. Splash around in the warm waters, or try to spot the frolicking dolphins from the beach.
Had enough of the sun? Dolphin Coast has more to offer than just sea and sand. Visit historical places like Shaka's grave site at Kwa-Dukuza or the battle sites of Ultimate Tree or Fort Pearson. Pack a picnic or go for a hike in the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve. Play golf at Umhlali Country Club or visit the one of the many shopping malls in Ballito.
Whether you’re looking for a lazy beach holiday, or an adventurous ocean escape, Dolphin Coast accommodation has something for each and every mood. Feel the crisp sea breeze, take advantage of the warm weather, and book your next trip today.
