Ballito

Ballito is a small coastal holiday town and is located 30 minutes north of Durban. Ballito has a friendly, small town charm and offers safe swimming beaches and good surf breaks.

This laid-back town is regarded as the starting point of South Africa's Dolphin Coast which stretches north to the Tugela River. Bottlenose dolphins are often spotted along Ballito's coastline and the relatively clear and shallow waters results in dolphins swimming close to the shore when wanting to feed.

Holiday makers can chose from a variety of activities. There are safe swimming beaches, oysters and muscles to be picked, and there is a 2.5 kilometres long beach-front promenade that people perfect for scenic walks and jogging. Accommodation is generally holiday apartments and during the peak season most are rented on a weekly basis.
