The Ballito Boardwalk
The Ballito Boardwalk is a lovely promenade, along a raised wooden boardwalk built to protect the dunes, that skirts the edge of the beach so you can enjoy the wonderful coastline. This walk is designed for the whole family to experience the different beaches and enjoy just being near the sea and listening to the waves.
An added bonus is that this stretch of coast is regularly visited by a large pod of some 200 dolphin. In the right season, you may also see a Humpback or Southern Right whale.
