Click here for Ballito Holiday Accommodation
Commonly known as the Dolphin Coast due to the frequent sightings of bottle-nose dolphins playing in the warm Indian Ocean, Ballito North Coast of KwaZulu Natal is one of South Africa's most popular holiday spots. Only a 30 minute drive from Durban Beachfront, the Ballito, Dolphin Coast is sprinkled with the pretty coastal towns of Thompsons Bay, North Coast Salt Rock, North Coast, Sheffield Beach, Dolphin Coast, Zimbali, Westbrook Beach and Tinley Manor - each with a relaxed 'resort like' atmosphere. The charming combination of the glorious area of Ballito beaches set alongside fields of sugarcane makes for a delightful year round destination, guaranteed to be filled with lazy sunny days, excellent fishing, diving and perfect swimming and North Coast surfing conditions. For the serious North Coast surfer, the Mr Price Pro surfing competition, held every June, is one of the worlds longest running international surfing competitions.
Although the Natal North Coast is renowned for its endless beaches and breathtaking scenery, it is the place where the great Zulu King Shaka is buried, and Shaka's grave forms part of the local Zulu Heritage Route, which takes in numerous sites associated with his reign. Further the voyage of discovery on the 'Muti' (African medicine) trail in the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve, where the nature lover can enjoy the reserve's walking trails along the banks of the Tugela River. This North Coast reserve is a wonderful combination of natural beauty and historical interest, where one can view a small variety of game and a large variety of bird life.
Visit Africa as it was, tranquil, mysterious and timeless at Crocodile Creek in Ballito, which is home to 9000 crocodiles, snakes, tortoise, leguaans, miniature monkeys and alligators. The Ballito Crocodile Creek farm includes bush and hill trails, curios and refreshments.
The Dolphin Coast Ballito also offers endless other activities - tennis and squash courts, bowling greens and well equipped fitness centres are available in Ballito .
