Accommodation near Thompson's Bay Beach
Thompson
Bay Beach is located in Thompson's Bay,
a small resort on KwaZulu Natal's North
Coast. It is situated north of Ballito and just south of Shaka's Rock. The
beach is located a mere 16 kilometres
(approximately 10 minutes) from King Shaka International Airport on the
North Coast.
Thompson
Bay Beach is a sheltered cove that
proves perfect for swimming. Furthermore it is a Blue Flag beach, meaning that it is managed in an environmentally responsible way and that the facilities are well-maintained. There
are life guards on duty in the high
season and the beach is protected by shark nets. It is also a popular spot
among anglers.
Charlie's Pool, an Olympic sized tidal pool is another popular feature
of the beach, offering endless opportunities for fun, which will keep both the
young, and the young-at-heart occupied. Charlie's Pool was built by and named
after Charles de Charmoy, an early settler in the area. It is surrounded by lots
of small rock pools which, when explored,
offer a glimpse into an underwater world
which children especially find difficult to resist.
The rock
pools also make nice cool tubs to soak in while enjoying the brilliant North
Coast sun. The other secluded coves along the coast also add some extra
interest to the Thompson Bay Beach.
Just south
of Thompson Bay Beach is Hole in the
Wall, a rock formation caused by consistent wave erosion over the years.
This fascinating natural structure marks the beginning of a marine trail that goes
up to High Rock. High Rock is reportedly where King Shaka's warriors were
ordered to cliff dive into the turbulent waters below to test their courage!
Today it is a favoured fishing area.
