This delightful beach is the perfect spot to bring your furry friends along for a stroll, provided they are well-behaved. It's a peaceful area with few visitors besides fishermen and hikers. Swimming is not recommended due to the lack of lifeguards and shark nets, and the shore break can be quite rough with strong currents. However, surfing can be enjoyed on occasion. It's not uncommon to see private planes and helicopters flying overhead as they take off or land at the nearby Virginia airfield. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, as the designated parking area is small and non-members are not allowed to park in the golf course lot. Alternatively, visitors can access the same beach from the North-end access just South of Virginia airfield, where there is ample parking available.

This beach is simply breathtaking, nestled in the heart of Durban North. A 4x4 vehicle is necessary to traverse the sandy road leading to this hidden gem.

Upon my first visit to this beach, I was absolutely enamored. The pristine sand and crystal-clear water were simply breathtaking. While there was a small amount of debris and litter present, it did not detract from the overall beauty of the beach. I found myself completely immersed in the natural surroundings and felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. This beach truly is a hidden gem and I cannot wait to return.
