Extending from Blue Lagoon South to Durban Harbour, you can take detours out onto the piers to watch surfers, kite boarders, and sandcastle architects hone their skills. Head out first thing in the morning and make the most of the view of the horizon with a breakfast pastry and a coffee.

For a cultural experience, visit the Indian quarter of the city for a delicious spiced meal and to visit the Hare Krishna Temple of Understanding. There are also tranquil gardens to explore and the area is easily reached by car.

Amble around the beachfront market which sells an array of crafts and artwork and then head to the market on Victoria Street to stock up on delicious food for a picnic.
