Area information
The North Coast offers visitors a unique blend of ultra- modern facilities at sun-drenched seaside resorts, and ancient traditions in a lush, subtropical environment. The shoreline is an enticing combination of golden beaches and rock pools for safe bathing, surfing, skin and scuba diving, rock and ski-boat fishing, or just relaxing.
Willard Beach, the main swimming beach in Ballito, is a blue flag beach. A 2.4 km boardwalk follows the shoreline southwards, providing an opportunity for an easy stroll with spectacular views of bays and coves.
A more rugged trail extends northwards from Willard to Shaka's Rock, which takes you through a hole in a cliff; best attempted at low tide.
