The Pier, another firm favourite with photographers, stretches for 80m, was built in 2007 and represents a whale’s skeleton. In 2006 unusually high waves battered the Umhlanga shoreline, resulting in extensive repair work and new features.
The Natal Spurfowl is found in woody areas and hilly areas and likes river bank regions. It is a bird about the size of a Francolin, now called Spurfowl. The height of the Natal Spurfowl is about 38 cms and its weight is about 500 gms.
