Umhlanga Rocks
Hailed as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, Umhlanga Rocks boasts beautiful coastlines best suited for surfing, fishing, and whale and dolphin viewing. A trip to Umhlanga Rocks reveals an economically flourishing town, which quickly transformed from sugarcane farmland into a tourism haven filled with shopping centers, international restaurants, luxury hotels, lively promenades, and nature trails. While some older neighborhoods still maintain their traditional look, the waterfront shows off a freshly modernized side with a European flair. Visitors take their vacation in Umhlanga Rocks mainly for its subtropical climate and diverse natural environment, which provide excellent conditions for cycling, rafting, sky diving, hiking, camping, and much more.
