What's about
Wind down the hectic day, at the Durban Africa Beach Party from 19h00 at North Beach, Durban. The big marquee awaits .....
Enjoy iced drinks whilst listening to the sounds of the warm Indian Ocean lapping against the shore. And soak up the night sights of South Africa’s playground with twinkling lights of Durban’s Golden Mile and the busy working port. This is your chance to mingle and relax with like minded people at an uniquely laid-back party in true Durban style.
Come dressed to boogie the night away, or to simply chill out – but know that you are going to want to kick your shoes off, feel the sand between your toes and the fresh sea breeze in your hair . This promises to be a night to remember!! .
