For the serious North Coast surfer, the Mr Price Pro surfing competition, held every June, is one of the worlds longest running international surfing competitions.
Although the Natal North Coast is renowned for its endless beaches and breathtaking scenery, it is the place where the great Zulu King Shaka is buried, and Shaka's grave forms part of the local Zulu Heritage Route, which takes in numerous sites associated with his reign. Further the voyage of discovery on the 'Muti' (African medicine) trail in the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve, where the nature lover can enjoy the reserve's walking trails along the banks of the Tugela River. This North Coast reserve is a wonderful combination of natural beauty and historical interest, where one can view a small variety of game and a large variety of bird life.
