About this trap
After heavy rain Durban sometimes closes beaches because of high E. coli levels in the water. In late November 2024, ten beaches were closed at once, and only uShaka, Point and Addington on the beachfront were judged safe. Look at the Status of Beaches page on the Visit Durban site before you go, swim only between the red and yellow flags near lifeguards, and pick an open beach if yours is closed.
