Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve Trail

Umhlanga & Umdloti

At the northern end of the promenade, this small reserve protects the Ohlanga River lagoon and its coastal dune forest. An easy 2 km trail follows wooden boardwalks through forest and wetland before opening onto a quiet beach, making it a lovely 30 to 45 minute nature walk right on Umhlanga's doorstep.

Insider tip: Walk it in the morning with a companion, loop back along the beach, and pack water and a small picnic for the quiet sand at the end.
