Ballito
Ballito (which is Italian for ‘Little Ball’) is located 42 kilometres North of Durban in the KwaZulu Natal province. It is known as ‘The Pearl’ of the Dolphin Coast because it is nestled between rippling sugar cane fields in the heart of the North Coast. This bustling town is flanked by long golden beaches. It was founded in 1953, and is well known for its superb safe beaches and warm Indian Ocean.
Sun seekers can try Willard Beach which offers an on duty lifeguard while also being secured with shark netting. Other beautiful beaches include Salmon Bay, Thompson’s Bay and Clarke Bay. The atmosphere in Ballito is warm and friendly, much like a village, though it still offers all the modern facilities and services that holiday makers and residents would expect in a big city. Try picking your own mussels off the rocks, collect oysters or bring in fresh crayfish by boat. Durban-direct.com offers a wide selection of accommodation in this stunning coastal village.
