Neighbourhood information

Umdloti is a charming seaside village hemmed between lush green sugar cane fields and the endless Indian Ocean. It is situated on the Dolphin Coast between Umhlanga and Ballito, approximately 20 kilometres north of Durban, home to the busiest harbour in Africa. There are designated swimming areas that are patrolled by lifeguards and protected with shark nets. The unique Umdloti Tidal Pool system forms a beautiful safe inshore bay for swimming and snorkeling. Umdloti Beach sits right on the Indian Ocean and extends from Peace Cottage on the north bank of the Umhlanga River Estuary up to the Umdloti River Estuary. This beautiful section of sandy beach has a shallow intertidal zone where the low tides form a myriad of rocky inshore pools. The coastal waters are rich in marine life providing endless shore fishing opportunities and great offshore ski boat and paddle ski fishing. Walking along the beach you will almost always be entertained by spectacles of dolphins playing in the surf and the whales breaching in season.
