Thompsons beach
4 HAF Louw

This is a nice beach if you want to sit in the sun and do nothing. There is not enough space for anything else really. If you want to bodysurf,go somewhere else. The swimming area is crammed between two sets of rock with a strong ripcurrent the result. The lifeguards seem therefore to often limit the safe swimming area between the flags to a very small area, cramming all the swimmers like sardines. The waves broke as shorebreak right on the beach when we were there,so no chance for a decent bodysurf without eating sand face first. If you just want to jump up and down in a shorebreak,go for it. The large tidal pool (Charlie's Pool) right next to the beach is nice for relaxed bathing even in bad storms. The hole in the wall next to the tidal pool is very Instagrammable.

Zimbali beach
10 Thomas Wrenneth

We held our four-day Company conference at the Capital Zimbali resort with over 100 delegates, and it was absolutely fantastic! The resort's location was ideal, and the service we received was truly outstanding. The food provided was of the highest quality. I want to give a special shout out to Letato, Siya, and the entire team for taking such great care of us. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend this resort for both personal and professional purposes. If you're in search of an incredible vacation or conference venue, this place should definitely be at the top of your list.

Umdloti South beach
6 Ronald Souw

The beach is incredibly clean! The strong winds made the sand feel like sharp pieces of glass against our skin. It was disappointing that we had to get a municipal pass, especially since we traveled a long distance, and we couldn't even access the restaurants. However, despite these drawbacks, it remains our family's preferred destination.

Willard beach
10 Nathaniel Tarek

This stunning beach is located at the northern end of the Ballito Promenade and is a true gem. With an abundance of benches, you can relax and take in the breathtaking views without even having to step onto the sand. For those who do want to get their feet wet, Willard beach is a popular surfing spot. But the excitement doesn't stop there, as The Ghost House and a secluded tidal pool can be found at the northern end of the beach, adding to the allure of this already picturesque location.

Westbrook beach
8 Lorien T.

Westbrook Beach is an idyllic destination that draws visitors from all walks of life. The picturesque scenery is complemented by ample parking, making it a convenient spot to spend a day in the sun. With vigilant lifeguards on duty, visitors can rest assured that they are in good hands and can enjoy the pristine, safe beach. Whether you choose to have a delightful picnic or stroll along the shoreline, the experience is nothing short of breathtaking. Westbrook Beach is a true gem that deserves to be on everyone's must-visit list.

Umhlanga beach
10 Lindiwe Mthembu

The feeling of the sun on my skin, the wind in my hair, and the sand between my toes is simply amazing. This beach is everything you could wish for in a picture-perfect setting. It's always well-maintained and tidy, with plenty of options for a quick drink or snack at the many nearby restaurants. The overall experience is truly awe-inspiring.
