The beach on the north coast is truly a hidden treasure! The parking area is conveniently located near the beach, and the friendly car guards make you feel secure. The beach is spotless, and the showers are in perfect working order. The lifeguards are always on the lookout, but they don't make you feel like you're being watched constantly. The seawater is crystal clear, and the nearby shop offers a variety of delicious treats such as ice cream, cold drinks, and food. Additionally, vendors on the beach sell ice cream too! This beach is a fantastic city beach, and it's hard to find one better than this.

This beach is a sight for sore eyes, with its pristine sands and immaculate waters. It's a cakewalk to get here, so no need to break a sweat. Plus, a lifeguard is always on standby to save you from drowning in your own misery. The ocean was a little temperamental yesterday, but at least it provided some entertainment with the whales' grand entrance.

I enjoyed leisurely strolls with my furry companion along the serene promenade. While descending the slipway, I indulged in some delectable refreshments from a quaint shop. The atmosphere was pleasant and convivial, with most pet owners conscientiously keeping their dogs on a leash and tidying up after them.

I thoroughly enjoyed my morning run along the stunning boardwalk that stretches for 2 kilometers. The beach was simply lovely and the water was absolutely perfect. The picturesque scenery was a feast for the eyes and a balm for the soul.

This stunning beach is located at the northern end of the Ballito Promenade and is a true gem. With an abundance of benches, you can relax and take in the breathtaking views without even having to step onto the sand. For those who do want to get their feet wet, Willard beach is a popular surfing spot. But the excitement doesn't stop there, as The Ghost House and a secluded tidal pool can be found at the northern end of the beach, adding to the allure of this already picturesque location.
