The tropical paradise that is Umhlanga Rocks may seem to be designed just for leisure and entertainment. Dubbed the ‘Riviera’ of the North Coast, the city’s beaches provide infinite opportunities for sunbathing while the continental appeal of outdoor restaurants lures visitors into a relaxed village ambiance. Numerous activities are available for travelers. Walkers and joggers can enjoy time on the well-known O’Connor Promenade that winds above the beach from Durban View Park to the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve. Umhlanga’s landmark lighthouse is an award-winning pier with its exceptional ‘whalebone’ design.
