Travellers planning to visit Durban can continue to enjoy the city's famous beaches, with the latest eThekwini Municipality water quality results showing that almost all monitored bathing beaches remain open for swimming.
The report, released on 18 June 2026, confirms that 21 beaches (Battery Beach?) across Durban's northern, central and southern coastline are currently open, including popular spots such as North Beach, uShaka Beach, Umhlanga Main Beach, Umdloti Main Beach, Amanzimtoti Main Beach and Brighton Beach. Only Reunion Beach remains closed to swimmers following poor water quality results.
Several of Durban's most popular beaches recorded excellent water quality readings, providing welcome news for visitors planning winter beach holidays, surfing trips and family getaways along the KwaZulu-Natal coast.
The municipality continues to monitor beach water quality regularly and advises visitors to check the latest beach status updates, particularly after periods of heavy rainfall.
Traveller takeaway
Durban's beaches remain largely open and welcoming for winter visitors, with only one monitored beach currently closed to swimming. For most travellers, it's business as usual along the Golden Mile and the wider Durban coastline.
