City, Harbour and Beach

The Durban city centre is a bustling business and entertainment hub situated around a busy harbour. The best way to enjoy views of the harbour and city skyline are to take a harbour cruise or eat at one of the waterfront restaurants at Wilson’s Wharf. A mile of golden beaches on the eastern edge of the city extend from the exciting uShaka Marine World near the harbour entrance all the way to the Suncoast Casino with its restaurants, cinemas and gambling halls. There are many hotels, restaurants and bars dotted along this strip to keep you entertained.

A special treat is to enjoy sundowners at the Beach Café right on the sand at Bay of Plenty while the kids play at the excellent skate park just behind the beach. There aren’t too many cities in the world boasting world class surfing waves, and Durban is one of the best. The beaches are all protected by shark nets and watched over by professional lifeguards. A number of national and international surfing competitions and festivals take place along this magic strip of beaches and fun.
