Four of Durban’s popular beaches have remained closed for almost a month now.
According to the municipality, since 26 June, four Durban beaches have been closed for swimming due to poor water quality. These beaches are:
- ANSTEY’S BEACH
- REUNION

“This status of beaches and pools will be updated as and when their status changes. You can still enjoy other recreational activities at closed beaches. You just can’t swim.” the municipality said.
