The Sugar Coast Streaches along the North Coast from Durban to Ballito. Sweeping golden sands and picture-postcard coves that epitomize luxurious and laid-back Beach lifestyle and enclaves of Bush where bird-life is abundant and small animals peek shyly from behind protected foliage. This is what the Sugar Coast is about. Traditional Zulu culture naturally abounds, but the Sugar Coast is also steeped in 'settler history', and an important Battlefields site lies an easy drive north.
You will find quiet and quaint destinations on the Sugar Coast like Westbrook Beach which is more 'hide-away' than 'hedonist's heaven'. Luxury simplex units, bungalows and B&Bs are mere steps away from long, undisturbed beach walks...wide lagoon at the river mouth...and a rock- enclosed tidal pool for cooling off in the briny.
En route back to the shopping malls of Umhlanga, why not pay a visit to the Sharks Board. With stunning audio-visual and standing displays, the only organisation of its kind in the world will happily show you everything you always wanted to know about these much-maligned predators. Shark- dissection, on the other hand, may be a little more than you anticipated learning! Join these intrepid guardians of safe swimming for a two- hour 'maintenance check' of Durban Metro shark- nets...you're bound to see playful dolphins and majestic whales on this early- morning adventure.
Sunny skies, warm Indian Ocean waves, beautiful beaches, tantalising cuisine, pristine nature, captivating culture, vibrant nightlife, shopping extravaganzas, luxury lodgings - all waiting for your arrival...along with a friendly and heartfelt greeting. Welcome to our Sugar Coast...and the Sweet Life!
