Day plans

Updated 16 October 2026

Four ways to spend a day in Umdloti, each a timed list of stops on a small map. The tide, the sunset and what is open update for today when you open a plan.

• Perfect day A perfect day in Umdloti One way to spend a whole day in Umdloti without the car: sunrise on the beach, coffee with a sea view, the tidal pool at low tide, a long lunch, a walk to the river mouth and sundowners by the sand.

  2. 2From 06:30Coffee at FOAM

• With kids Umdloti with kids A family day that keeps the drives short: the tidal pool at low tide, breakfast where there is a kids menu, the Sharks Board show in Umhlanga, lunch with a kids area, the netted main beach and an early seafood dinner.

• Sunset Sunset in Umdloti Umdloti faces east, so the sun sets behind the village, not over the sea. The light turns gold on the beach first; the sunset itself is best seen from higher up and inland.
