Stretching along a swathe of butter-yellow sand, Durban, South Africa's third-largest city (known as eThekweni in Zulu), has long been one of the country's great escapes, offering a lively, if slightly tacky, pre-packaged seaside experience on the very doorstep of KwaZulu-Natal's teeming metropolitan hub.

Traditionally the silly-season stomping ground of white tourists from Johannesburg (Jo'burg) and Pretoria, 21st-century Durban now caters to a more cosmopolitan market, with visitors of all creeds and colors living it up along the city’s seafront esplanade.
