Our Beaches
With Ballito’s lifeguards stationed at numerous beaches, it strives to create an environment where every beachgoer can relax and immerse themselves in the beauty of the surroundings without worrying about safety.
Ballito’s two Blue Flag Beaches, Willard Beach and Thompson’s Bay, are exceptionally safe with NSRI’s Pink Rescue Buoys and dedicated lifeguards diligently watching over the shores, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.
The Ballito Boardwalk
Boardwalks are always fun to stroll along and, with this one, not only can you enjoy a long walk but you can also hike to Salt Rock, which offers amazing views. (Though it’s best to traverse the tunnel along the route at low tide!)
Bring some binoculars and a camera with to best soak up this cool coastline.
If you’re lucky (and the season is right), you may even sight a pod of dolphins, huge humpback or even a Southern Right whale.
Clarke Bay Beach
A mere 15 minutes from Ballito’s main beach, Willards Bay, one can find Clarke Bay beach.
This quieter beach is protected by both lifeguards and shark nets, and it offers a lovely tidal pool, where you can show the kids natural sea life – though please don’t disturb or hurt these intriguing sea creatures.
After a day at the beach, enjoy a meal at any of Ballito’s many restaurants.
Thompsons Beach
Tucked between Ballito and Chakas Rock (along Ocean Drive), this sheltered cove makes for an ideal swimming and/or angling beach.
What’s more, it has on-site lifeguards and shark nets in the waters, meaning safe swimming for all is easily ensured.
Salt Rock Main Beach
Salt Rock Beach is the main beach of the little town of the same name, which is perched along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal. It is idyllic for its palm trees, white sand, and warm turquoise waters. And, thanks to its being protected by shark nets in the water and lifeguards on the beach, it is a fantastic choice for families and those that want to cool off in the temperate waters of the Dolphin Coast.
Willard Beach
One of Ballito’s biggest attractions, Willard Beach is a wonderful beach with lifeguards.
Set against a tourist and holiday accommodation backdrop, this long sandy beach is one of KZN’s finest beaches.
The water is warm, the surf is good and there’s a variety of restaurants and outdoor activities to enjoy here, including: scuba diving, seafood eateries and microlight flips.
Salmon Bay Beach
This popular beach, just south of Ballito, happens to be a surfer’s paradise.
It is also the designated launch site for Ballito’s cool Inflatable Boat Clubhouse.
Aside from this, the beach offers ample parking at its southern end, and a great golden stretch of beach to bask on too.
Sheffield Beach
Sheffield Beach is a relatively small beach on the Dolphin Coast in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. It is conveniently situated about 15 to 20 minutes from Ballito. Despite being smaller than many of its neighbouring beaches along the east coast,
Sheffield Beach certainly doesn’t disappoint in terms of appeal.
This beach is especially popular for spear fishing, thanks to the many exciting fish species that can be found in these temperate waters. As a result, it is also great for SCUBA diving. What’s more, these are Indian Ocean waters, which means that they are warmer and more inviting than the chilly waters of the Atlantic.
