Salt Rock Beach in Umhlali Strand, Dolphin Coast-Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal

Salt Rock Beach, on the North Coast of KwaZulu Natal, offers a beautiful and safe place to swim.

Not only is the water warm, but there are shark nets as well as lifeguards on duty to keep you and your loved ones safe. There is a large tidal pool that sits on the edge of the beach, perfect for the little ones to play in, safe from the ocean currents and in good view of parents sunbathing on the sand!

The beach offers great facilities for swimmers and surfers alike, with ablution facilities and showers, it is perfect for anyone after a long day in the water. The beach is surrounded by palm trees, a sunbathers’ delight, as they help break the wind so as not to blow sand everywhere. The Palm trees also provides perfect shade and scenery for picnics!

If you like diving or snorkelling, then the reefs are a must for any explorer as you will be certain to see an abundance of marine life swimming around. This also allows anglers the perfect fishing spots, with a little patience and good timing, fishers can haul some great catches!

The beach can get a little crowded during the holiday seasons so be sure to get there early if you want a good spot. Enjoy an early morning walk and enjoy one of the most spectacular sunrises on the East coast!
