North Beach

North Beach is a beach area in Durban that stretches along the Golden Mile between Bay of Plenty and Dairy Beach. The shoreline features broad sandy areas, a palm-lined promenade, and clear access points for various water sports.

The beach was developed in the 1970s as part of Durban's transformation of its Golden Mile into a major coastal destination. This development shaped the area into one of the city's most important beach sections.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the local surf culture and coastal lifestyle. The palm-lined promenade shows how residents integrate their daily activities with the seaside setting.

The beach is well equipped with shark nets and has lifeguards on duty throughout the day to ensure swimmer safety. There are regularly monitored areas for swimmers, surfers, and other water sports enthusiasts.

The beach is home to the Durban Surf Lifesaving Club, whose members actively protect swimmers and organize water safety programs for the community. This organization has a long tradition of rescue and training for water sports participants.
