Day plan
Sunset in Umdloti
Updated · Sources
In short
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.
The golden hour and the sunset time update for today when the page opens, and so does what is open. Every stop links to its own page, which names its sources.

Golden hour
The beach walk
In the last hour before sunset the light turns gold on the sea and the sand. Walk north from the tidal pool; the beach is widest around low tide.

Sundowners
Salt & Citrus
Upstairs at Umdloti Beach Centre, overlooking the beach, and home to what its own Instagram calls the Umdloti Sundowner Club.

Sunset
Tyler’s, upstairs
Inland at Marine Walk, Tyler’s own site offers sunset views from its upstairs venue, and a bar it says is often voted among the best for cocktails in Durban.

Dinner
Tightline
A seafood retailer by day and a seafood bar and grill by night, in the same centre, with its own cocktail bar. Its hours run to 21:00.
