Aquatic activities are a year-round draw in balmy Durban, South Africa's third-largest city and home to the continent's biggest port. Surfers, swimmers and body boarders flock to the lifeguard-patrolled Indian Ocean beaches north and south of the city. The Point Waterfront is packed with anglers, while Wilson's Wharf blends a marina with restaurants and shopping. Africa's largest marine park sits along the Golden Mile, providing family-friendly entertainment.
