Without a doubt, Durban is know for its sunny skies and the beach. This area is well protected by the bluff to the south and the Berea to the west, with the result that there are very few days that aren't "beach days" in Durban.
So.... weather is good, surfing is good, swimming is good, walking is good, and even just sitting watching the waves roll in and out is good. It's all good at Durban by the sea.
Now you know why Durban is so well known, have a look at what you'd expect to find in these other cities around the world, cos they all participated in our February Theme Day.

Through the Transkei

Up early again, cos everyone's itching to get through the Transkei. When
the bikes start revving, you know you'd better hurry, or you could be left
behind....

Looks just heavenly. Nice shot of a beautiful place.
i come to live in Durban
hear weather is too wet
I went only once to Durban (I lived in Pretoria for 11 years) and liked it a lot.
Nice photos.
...secrets...
this blue sky is really wonderful!

Sounds like a great climate. It sure is a beautiful view.
that is a classic Durbs shot, so tropical looking. but I bet it wasn't taken around Christmas or New Year, when it is normally seething with people! Are you enjoying the Cricket? Sad to see Polly go.
about now winter in Seattle is becoming just a little too much for me. "Almost everyday a beach day" certainly sounds appealing! Lovely spot!!
It's refreshing to look at a lovely South African beach on a gray day like today.
Cheers!

Absolutely stunning. I agree with Fenix, it's refreshing to dream about the beach and clear skies on a grey day, oops, I mean white day (it snowed several inches already last night!) like today.
Wonderful beach shot - wish I were there right now!
That is stunning...I would love living in an area with beach access!
Oh that is gorgeous - I could really cope with that kind of scene right now! (definitely NOT sunny and beachy in Glasgow, that's for sure!).
Great photo. It makes me want to be there.
Sounds like where I live! Not bad! :-) Happy Theme Day from Maui, Hawaii.
Lovely photos of south africa today!
Gorgeous beach! do all the young folks from the UK still head down your way to seek seasonal work?

Looks like a nice holiday destination now that I have seen this beach!
Happy Theme Day!
the beach looks very inviting.
The sunshine looks lovely. I sure could use some to defrost from all the snow we've been having here in Juneau, Alaska. Thanks for sharing your beautiful city.
I love this nice beach and shade of those palm tree. We are also known as sunshine city within NZ.
Makes you want to jump right in.
I didn't get around much on Theme Day but I still want to visit and send my regards. Great choice!! You have wonderful beaches.
