Umhlanga Beach
Famous for its red and white lighthouse, long stretches of light sand, warm waters and picturesque backdrops – Umhlanga beach is a beauty to swim, tan and relax. Take a sunset walk along the beautiful paved pathway and explore the many beachfront stores and restaurants before reaching the lighthouse.
Thompsons Bay Beach
Thompsons Bay Beach is definitely a Beach & Beyond favourite, and it’s not hard to guess why. Renowned for the “hole in the wall”, Thompsons Bay boasts a breathtaking scene to take in and relax. Thanks to the cave, you are protected from the wind when tanning or snorkeling in Charlies Pool.
