Golden Mile

The Golden Mile is a popular stretch of beachfront in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It features a wide stretch of golden sands, artificially separated by various piers, providing opportunities for sun-worshippers and swimmers to enjoy the sub-tropical sunshine and warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The Mile is also a well-known surfer's haven, with the South Beach end being a safe beach for neophyte surfers. The beachfront properties are a mix of residential apartments and tourist hotels, with several popular restaurants and nightclubs. Visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, surfing, fishing, and snorkeling, with most of the Mile's beaches protected year-round by lifeguards and shark nets. The Golden Mile is also home to several attractions, including the uShaka Marine World, Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World, and the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Families can enjoy the paddling pools, slides, and fountains, as well as the Skate Park at the Bay of Plenty Beach, where skateboarders, roller-bladers, and riders on BMX bikes can show off their skills
