Ballito is a popular holiday town that has grown exponentially in recent years. It is nestled amongst infinite fields of sugar cane, KwaZulu-Natal’s famous Green Gold, and flanked by golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The Dolphin Coast, as this area is otherwise called, gets its name from numerous Bottlenose dolphins that frequent the waves along the coast. Ballito’s beaches are as safe as they are popular, and are protected by shark nets, and lifeguards in season. Willard Beach has Blue Flag status, and Clarke Bay has tidal pools for the little ones to splash around in. Families flock to Ballito in summer to enjoy the activities the warm waters have to offer such as surfing, body boarding, swimming, or just to sun-tan on the warm sands. Ballito has fishing spots aplenty that guarantee a good catch, and a delicious evening meal. Licenses for fishing, mussels, oysters, and crayfish can be obtained in Ballito so you can try your hand at whatever pleases you.
