Golden Mile

A stretch along the coast between the uShaka Marine World and Suncoast Casino, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Durban with a host of activities.

The Golden Mile is a hugely popular stretch along the sandy beaches of Durban, and also the seaside promenade that accompanies it. There are a host of attractions along the length of the stretch. The Moses Mabhida, the Blue Lagoon, it's numerous famous beaches, a surfing museum and a miniature model of Durban and many others. Its sandy beaches are a favourite spot in Durban to kick back under the sun and work that tan, as well as for taking a dip in the blue Indian Ocean. And for the surfers, this is a jackpot. Every day there are hundreds of surfers challenging the waves of the ocean, and you can give it a try as well! Mind you, learning how to surf is not easy at all! You need not worry about safety, since there are lifeguards on patrol at all times, and also shark nets to separate the ocean from the beach waters. Definitely a brilliant day in the outdoors! There are several hotels along the mile, flocked with tourists from all over the country during holiday season. So if you plan to stay here, make your bookings in advance.
