Welcome to the my website of "The Bluff". Bluff, in Latin, means peninsula or neck of land which juts out into the ocean. The Bluff has the Indian Ocean on its one side and the harbour on the other, hence the name "Bluff". This website will help you to learn more about "The Bluff" as well as supply you with useful information if you wish to visit this lovely suburb.
The Bluff is situated just south of Durban in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. Follow these directions from Durban to get to The Bluff:-
Get onto th.e M4 highway south and drive for approximately seven (7) kilometers until you get to the Edwin Swales Drive turn off. Take this turn off and drive straight down Edwin Swales Drive for about another three (3) kilometers. Passing a BP petrol station, Makro and Fat Boyz night club. Keep left when the road splits and proceed into Bluff road. You are now on The Bluff. Follow the signs to get to the beach or the golf course, or just drive your way around and enjoy what you see.
There are two swimming beaches on The Bluff, Ansteys Beach and Brighton Beach. Ansteys Beach is the safest beach to swim at as there are not as many rocks at Ansteys as there are at Brighton Beach. Surfing on The Bluff has always been very popular, at both swimming beaches as well as between the two swimming beaches where you will find a very well known surfing spot called Cave Rock. Here you will find a reef break which, on good day, can produce some of the best waves in the country, but be warned, it can get quite dangerous at times. This break is usually left to the more experienced board riders as the reef is very shallow, any wrong move could cause some nasty injuries. Have a look at the picture gallery for some pictures of this break.
There is the Bluff National Golf Club situated in the valley of The Bluff between the dunes that run parallel to the ocean. It is a must play for any golfer visiting The Bluff.
There is lots to do and see on The Bluff, so have a look at the Things To Do Page as well as the Picture Gallery Page and you will see and read what The Bluff has to offer you as a visitor. Thank You for visiting this website and I hope that it has been a help to you.
