Additional Surfing Infos
 Ruined Since the storms 2 years ago, don't hold your breadth for good surf although can get fun and the town a great place to base yourself for surf trips up and down the coast.
  Overview
  Atmosphere When its good, it's ok.
  General Umhlanga Rocks was one of the first shark-infested spots to benefit from protective nets in the 1960s, and to this day serious attacks have been dramatically reduced. However, recent reports, including a National Geographic story, reveal that the Natal Sharks Board (the organization that oversees the nets) is rethinking its policy. The underwater barriers do keep out great whites, bulls, and tiger sharks—but they are indiscriminate, killing a number of harmless creatures, too, including dolphins, rays and turtles.
