On KZN’s North Coast, Ballito is a mega-tourist-friendly seaside resort with wonderful, safe, shark net-protected beaches. Tidal pools ranging from kiddies’ paddling numbers to a full Olympic-sized pool offer safe bathing for all levels of swimmer and even non-swimmers. There is a lovely long boardwalk offering easy scenic beach walking and a more rugged trail all the way up to Salt Rock includes a short tunnel best attempted at low tide. The surfing is great at nearby Salmon Bay. Ballito is a great family destination with a sophisticated infrastructure – which means wall-to-wall development and loads of beachfront hotels. And, if that’s not enough, it’s less than an hour away from Durban, if you need a big city fix. Great shopping, wonderfulrestaurants and a vibey nightlife should keep the whole family occupied when they’re not on the beach. There are microlight flips on offer for a bird’s eye view of rolling sugar cane fields and dolphins frolicking in the waves. Experience some of the many diverse pursuits and visit enchanting locations within easy reach, or simply relax on the golden sandy beaches to soak up the African sun. With Gateway The Theatre of Shopping and La Lucia Mall just 20 minutes drive towards Durban, you could not wish for more. For the brave there is also Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom 15 minutes away. Those of you that prefer an even wilder life, there are fantastic Game Reserves, Nature Eco Trails and excellent Bird Watching north of Ballito.
