We checked out some of the highest rated beaches near Durban and they did not disappoint! Some locals highly recommended going to the dolphin coast so we took a day trip to Ballito to explore one of the most unique beaches we have ever been to.

I used to live in the Scottsbrgh area and moved to Cape Town 24 years ago. In the late 80s my company did a weekend team building exercise there at place called LA Montagne. I must say that it's a beautiful place with lovely warm beaches. Here in Cape Town 24 years later and I have not taken a dip in the sea although I lived for few years just a km from the beach. Fishing I do but not swimming, the Atlantic water is just too cold.

The water is so nice near Durban! When we are at Atlantic beaches we just have to mentally prepare and run in. If we don’t fully commit, one of us will turn around when we get to the water lol thanks so much for sharing! We love hearing about peoples adventures

Thompson Beach is the beach we always go to swim❤❤we also a family have so many fond memories

[@SavagesAdventures]

Love Thompson beach! Do you ever go over to the other side of the hole in the wall to swim? Hopefully next summer we can explore some more beaches in the area

[@Farmdogs]

@SavagesAdventures yes we have swum there a couple times....but we prefer to swim on the main beach where the lifeguards are 😅 and in the tidal pool when it's high tide.....the waves splash over in an incredible way

[@relevantbrother8964]

Thank you for this wonderful video on y home city. Was so wonderful seeing you enjoying those strong waves!

[@SavagesAdventures]

We had a great time!

There's a reason you guys were by yourselves when you out far at Thompson's Bay. Lucky you didn't get swept out to the ocean - currents are very strong at Thompson's Bay.

[@SavagesAdventures]

It wasn’t too bad the day we were there. The swells weren’t really pulling us much. The waves were definitely bigger than the Atlantic Ocean though

[@Farmdogs]

​@SavagesAdventures we are also often the ones that are further out t enjoying ourselves immensely 😅

[@Jayzz456]

Very Cool!

[@SavagesAdventures]

It was so much fun!

FYI: the arch at Thomson's Bay is not natural. It was opened up several decades ago to gain access to the southern beaches.

[@SavagesAdventures]

Ah. I still can’t find much of any history of the beach. Do you know when it was made?

[@juangeyserza]

Did you find the nudist beach a bit further north from Umhlanga nature reserve?

[@SavagesAdventures]

No and I’m glad I didn’t 🤣 🤣

[@juangeyserza]

The beaches north of Durban suck. The southern beaches are waaay better. The south was built up many years before the north as holiday spots as the beaches are safer to swim at. Too rocky and beaches not as wide u north, next time go to Toti or even down to Margate.
