BEACHES

KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast - also known as the Dolphin Coast due its large population of bottlenose dolphins - stretches for 100 kms north of Durban to the mouth of the Tugela River. This area of coastline is renowned for its balmy year-round climate, spectacular surf, and glorious beaches. While home to many high class resorts and residential areas, the North Coast has a wilder feel to the coastline south of Durban, especially in the far north. The North Coast is also known for its tidal pools which provide safe, enclosed areas for children to snorkel. Examples include Salt Rock, Charles Pool at Thompson’s Bay north of Ballito, and two well-maintained pools at the southern end of Ballito itself.

MOUNT MORELAND - UMHLOTI

Barn Swallows at Mount Moreland

Each year in October, hundreds of thousands of Barn Swallows arrive in South Africa after their long migration from Europe. For the summer, lasting from October to mid-April, these birds flock at Mt Moreland, inland of Umhloti Beach. The Dusk Dance is a performance to behold, a once in a life-time experience. As the sun sets, the flock congregates in an amazing aerial display of flight; swooping and diving in joyous delight until, as one, the entire flock subsides into the reeds and all is quiet… Take a picnic, enjoy the display from the Mt Moreland Look-out site.

ST LUCIA ESTUARY

St Lucia

South Africa has one of the largest Estuary’s in Africa, its total length is approximately 85km South to North and 22km wide at its widest point.

 

Previously St Lucia town was known as St Lucia Estuary and is still today referred to as St Lucia Estuary. St Lucia Estuary is also much like a island and this is due to the fact that the town is surrounded by water on the left is the estuary and on the east side is the Indian Ocean.

 

he St Lucia Estuary ishome to more than 800 Hippo’s and about 1200 Nile crocodiles not to mention the abundance of birdlife. It is no wonder that the area was proclaimed as a world heritage in 1999 by Unesco. The St Lucia Estuary remains the top attraction as nowhere else has one the opportunity of experiencing such a diverse and magnitude of beauty, the various seasons contribute to migratory bird species. A bird lovers paradise and only 54km away lies the Mkuze game reserve most definitely one of the best birding areas in South Africa.

 

The St Lucia Estuary at present remains closed to the Indian Ocean primary due to the years of drought however new water been allowed into the estuary, a new cut on the banks of the Umfolozi River has contributed greatly to a renewed amount of water, when the Umfolozi River floods then water runs into the channel that feeds the estuary. This new addition to the water levels has shown a great increase in the levels from St Lucia up towards Charters Creek. This area previously almost dry completely now once again offers immaculate viewing of Flamingos and other species of birdlife.
