Umhlanga Rocks – A photographers paradise
In order to celebrate the summer break, in this post I have chosen a few images of the Umhlanga beaches.
Umhlanga Beaches have a wide variety of moods and lie alongside the promenade which extends for 2.5 km from the south car park to the Breakers Resort entrance.
But that is not the end as, especially at low tide one can walk at least another 2 kilometers to the Umhlanga Lagoon. Peace Cottage , which used to belong to the Campbell family lies within unspoiled coastal forest which is protected.
Umhlanga Rocks would not be the same without the iconic ‘whale-bone’ pier and the lighthouse.
This gallery celebrates these landscapes .

At times Umhlanga beaches are a available for deep thought
