South Africa beaches

Can anyone recommend any good tropical beaches North of Durban that are family friendly,safe for swimming,good snorkelling, a few restuarants. Looking for somewhere to chill after 3 weeks of travelling in august? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the sea around Durban is very dangerous, as it has a very strong currant which will pull you into the sea. Even dangerous for an adult. Especially for young children.

Hello, as written by scorpio1965, the sea there is dangerous, BUT it is great to chill after travelling around. There are many self catering places for rent for families at very domocratic rates. The sea is rough, but playing with the waves is great.

Have fun

Hi Martin76!
