 The
Dolphin Coast stretches north from Durban to the Tugela
River mouth. Bottle-nose dolphins can be seen surfing the
waves throughout the year. Some of the beaches and places
of interest along the coast include Ballito, Salt Rock,
Shaka's Rock and Sheffield Beach.
Ballito is a great centre for shopping and entertainment
and is closest to Durban. Shaka's Rock is home to a lovely
stretch of sandy beach and boasts a beautiful tidal pool
flanked by picturesque rocky cliffs. Salt Rock is further
north. Shaka's maidens used to go there to collect salt
to trade with and to use in the king's household. Sheffield
Beach has sheltered coves and superb rock pools to delight
the snorkelling-enthusiast. There are also excellent fishing
and diving spots at Sheffield’s northernmost beach,
Christmas Bay.
