The Amanzimtoti beach is the perfect place to be for an enjoyable day of sunshine, sand between your toes and relaxed fun.
The wide sandy beach is perfect for a game of beach volley ball, building a sand castle or taking a dip in the warm ocean waters. Slap on the sun tan lotion and get the perfect tan. There are plenty of restaurants right on the beach to grab a bite to eat or get something cool to drink. There is even a cozy coffee den upstairs for those who can’t go without their caffeine fix.
The Splash Water World provides entertainment in the form of fun water slides that ranges from mild and easy for the little ones to hair raising dare-devil slides for the more adventurous. There is a large pool, a must try ice-cream station, family restaurant, mini golf, braai’s (barbecue area) and deck areas overlooking the beach.
There is a large lawn area in front of the buildings that house the various restaurants, life guard offices and bathroom facilities to use when you want to be near the beach but not on the beach. During the holiday season hawkers will display their wares to the side of the lawn area. They will have a good selection of hats, flip flops, buckets and mini shovels (for building sand castles), hand woven baskets, beach bags and apparel and even handmade jewelry.
The pools at the Amanzimtoti Beach
To the right side of the beach the pools are build into the rocky outcrop. There are three pools: a shallow pool (for small kids), a slightly deeper pool and a large pool where you will be able to swim lengths. The water is sparkling blue and very inviting.
The rocky outcrop is a great fishing spot to spend your day ‘working’ on catching dinner for tonight.

Parking
There is plenty of parking at the Amanzimtoti Beach and plenty of self appointed car guards to help you find a space and look after your car while you are at the beach.
Continue down the street and you will find even more parking areas that lead down to braai (barbecue) areas that are protected from the wind by a green wall of trees and scrubs.

Use the map below to find your way to this great beach. I find it is easiest to take the turn-off from the N2 Highway at the Galleria Shopping Center and turn towards the ocean.
