Durban's Northern Surroundings / Dolphin Coast

There are numerous bathing resorts on the coast north of Durban, sometimes called the Dolphin Coast, but in general this stretch is less developed for tourism than the Sunshine and Hibiscus Coasts to the south of the city.

For a round trip through this region, take M 3 (known as Shaka's Way after the great Zulu king), running close to the coast, as far as Stanger, returning to Durban on R 102, farther inland.
