Amanzintoti beach is often touted as one of the top beaches in Durban, with a constant presence of police and security vehicles to ensure that no one gets too rowdy. On my most recent trip, I noticed that they had added some gym equipment for the public to use - because who doesn't want to work out on a sandy beach, right? The lifeguards are always on duty, keeping a watchful eye on the swimmers. Kudos to Amanzintoti for their efforts, but let's not forget that it's still just a beach with sand and water.

The beach is absolutely delightful, but the swimming area seems too cramped for the number of visitors. Unfortunately, the tidal pool has been closed for the past two years. Nonetheless, the beach is well-maintained and spotless.

The beach in Toti is truly breathtaking. The pristine sand glistens in the sun and the ocean walk seems to go on forever. The beach is impeccably maintained and always spotless. Visitors can enjoy a variety of amenities including a Spur, pub and grill, fast food outlet and ice cream store. There is even a mini outdoor gym area and a designated spot for braai's. For those seeking a bit of adventure, there is a small waterpark complete with a massive pool and slide. The beach is perfect for families and pet owners alike, making it an ideal destination for a day of fun in the sun.

The beach is immaculate, boasting vast stretches of sandy shores. However, it is worth noting that the winds tend to pick up in the afternoon. The lifeguards on duty are vigilant in maintaining order and ensuring the safety of all beach-goers. The tranquil ambiance is truly remarkable. Additionally, the braai facilities are meticulously maintained and open to all. November is an excellent time to visit, as the sun shines brightly, but it is wise to avoid peak hours to avoid the crowds.

The beach experience was decent. While there were some individuals who were not the most pleasant, the avid fishermen among the beach-goers made the visit worthwhile. The shoreline and water were exceptional, providing a serene atmosphere for relaxation. The optimal time for a visit would be from early morning to early afternoon, as the waves tend to become more intense and unpredictable in the later hours. However, it can be quite amusing and frightening to be tossed around by the powerful waves, making for an adventurous evening.
