- DURBAN'S GOLDEN MILE is an 8km beachfront stretch from Blue Lagoon to the harbour. There is SO MUCH to do, so we had to be very picky about the places we went to, as we only had ONE day.
Let us know in the comments where your favourite spot is on the GOLDEN MILE.

“Cold beer. That’s what I care about.” - Good man, Craig.
Haha I thought you would like that one Jay😅
Woow Durban is a must visit... the beaches are absolutely stunning
It really is and we have the warm Indian Ocean 😊
That beach looks like Hawaii. Wow.
We will have to go to Hawaii to compare😅
@@BeingBedingfield DO IT.
Stayed in Durban for 4 years studying at DUT staying in sea board south beach and this video just made me miss Durban even more ❤️
You must’ve had a great time studying and living in Durban 😊
As a former KZN boytjie, the nostalgia is great. Thanks for taking me back
Keep up the good work in Promoting our beautiful town Durban, proud to be a Durban resident 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks so much Herman! Durban is really an amazing city 😊
What a great place to call home! Love it! I have to mention I truly appreciate the nice cuts, transitions and beautiful drone shots great job guys!!!!! As always fabulous video guys! ~Cara 😊
Thanks Cara. We really love our home 😁. Thanks for the kind words with regards to our footage and editing. Hope you have an awesome week!
Lived there for a while 50 years ago, loved it. It has changed so much. We stayed for a while at the Malibu Hotel and later at La Lucia. Thank you for the memories
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment, must've been so different when you lived here :)
I am American and I have been to Durban six or seven times. I have seen or done just about everything you did in this video, save the overhead tram ride, and I still loved this video. I am looking to take holiday in January and Durban/Cape Town was number one on my list but Omicron has put the breaks on that. Lastly, once when in Durban I told a young lady that I loved her accent, (BTW I love both of your accents) she said, "I don't have an accent, you do."
Hi there, thanks so much for watching! Awesome that you've visited Durban, normally tourists only go to Cape Town or Joburg :) Omicron has really messed up so many people's travel plans :( Hopefully we can get back to normal soon!
Haha...we really love hearing accents around us, and we're really missing it :(
That's what i try to tell everybody,you leave your country and go abroad,you have an accent!
I can't wait to see more of your videos as you've captured the vibrance and beauty of our city so well! Wish you every success in the future.
Thanks so much for the kind comment, Devi. We really appreciate it 😊 next vlog coming out tonight at 7 😁
Such a stunning city. One of my favorite things is just sitting on a beach at sunrise and watching all of the surfers. That shot at 16:20 is awesome! Good and fun video as always guys :)
Wow that looks like such a gorgeous stretch to walk, bike, or run down! AMAZING views! 😍I can see why you and your friends chose to hang out at North Beach every day. I can't believe that's what your winter weather is like! That cable car looked like a blast too! I haven't done one of those in ages. What a fun way to see the city
Thanks guys. Winter in Durban is amazing! If you don't like cold weather, then Durban is the place to live. We have beautiful sunny weather all year! There are so many beautiful beaches to choose from in Durban!
You guys make the best youtube Durbs videos, you've captured this place I grew up in! Love the stories Chantz and Craig please tell more especially reminding me of the Gunston 500 beach during the day and the jolling at nights. Would love to see some umdloti, comrades experience, Duzi, rugby experiences, Rovers, Bunny Chow from Brittania. Cheers from Texas!
Hi Jon
Thanks for watching all the way from Texas! When did you move there?
Love all your suggestions, added to our list ✅ some will have to wait till after Covid unfortunately 🙈 even restaurants are closed at the moment 😭 but please let us know if you think of any other places 😁
20 plus years ago
Wow I'm sure these videos bring back good memories. We plan to do everything you have mentioned😁
Awwww, big doggies at the coffee spot. And what a fantastic view of that stadium! I knew it looked familiar from the World Cup.
That stadium is really amazing! You guys would love watching a game there!
You make me wanna move to Durban. Great content guys.
Aww thanks 😊 Durban would be happy to have you ☀️
Thanks so much for watching!
The beach sunset almost fell everything behind this video
Awesome work guys ..
Wooow guys, your videos just keep getting better and better 🙌🏼🔥🤗 love how much valuable info you guys give 🙏🏼🇿🇦
Thanks guys. Its very nice to hear that. We hope to spread the info far and wide! Have an amazing week😁
Well done guys, i'm planning to go to Durban in Dec and i've been googling 'what to do in Durban', but this video is putting everything into perspective! loved it
Aw, thanks so much 😁 let us know if you need any other info or help 😊
This video is also quite helpful, not sure if you’ve seen it: th-cam.com/video/JSUl---u154/w-d-xo.html
As a biased Durbanite , I think durban's golden mile trump's Capetown all year round . I was standing on the moyo pier just today marveling at the calm ocean and stinging winter weather .😁🇿🇦✌️
Ah the beautiful Durban beachfront 😍🌊 We miss it! All the sights and sounds in this video really made us feel like we were back home again, thank you for taking us with you! The rickshaw ride looked like such fun 😄 we definitely want to give that a try when we are in SA again 🇿🇦❤ Ending off with a swim is definitely the best way to end a day full of exploring the beachfront 😄
Thanks guys. We are really enjoying your adventures. Keep up the amazing content 😁. When you guys are back in SA we must meet up!
I miss Durban every single day 😢having stayed there for almost a year I’m yet to find anything better
Aww, yeah, Durban is an awesome city 😊 where do you live now?
We hope to visit Durban in November this year. Will be coming off a cruise ship so will only have 5 days. One of the 5 days we will be doing a Safari with a local company. Thanks for showing me around before I even get there. Greetings from New Zealand( also a beautiful country with amazing beaches.)
Hi Marianna, that’s amazing! So glad you’re spending some time in Durban! We have a full KZN guide as well: th-cam.com/video/rND4m2OxEWY/w-d-xo.html
Where in NZ are you? We’ve also moved here 😅 we’re in Whangarei 😊
@@BeingBedingfield We are getting a lady from Bonana tours to take us on an overnight to do the Safari, also in StLucia to do a river cruise with a chance to see the crocs and Hippos.
Such amazing places to explore, so cute your parents had their wedding pics got taken there! The views from the top are totally worth it!
its confirmed...I'm a sucker for Durbs, by far the best holiday spot in SA. Had our honeymoon here...totally love this place.
I'd definitely love to go for a bike ride along the promenade! Such a nice activity. There seemed like a lot of restaurants and places to get food and drinks. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to do the cable car, but the views were nice. I've never been on a rickshaw before. Great tips at the end! My hubby doesn't go anywhere without sunscreen!!
Durban's golden mile is so fun and vibrant.
Chantz, you really looked in your element in this vid! Every video you both look more and more confident and relaxed, its great watching your journey ✌️
Oh and as always your food choices 🤤🧡
Thanks guys. We really appreciate the kind words 😁
@@BeingBedingfield always a pleasure
Very good presentation, some professionals wouldn't definitely do it as You did this great documentary about Durban. Thank You!
You worked on a ship? That is so awesome! We need a video telling us more about our favorite couple.
Thank you guys! That's my country and city!
Nice to get some exercise on the bike while seeing all the beautiful sights of Durban at the same time! Nice you could get the gardens all to yourself! Glad you tried the rickshaw! Touristy things are tourist because they are fun. Always worth trying at least once!
Thanks guys. We felt like proper tourists in our own town! A little exercise while enjoying the sights is always fun😁
The promenade is vibrant... Point area very active on the weekend 👍🌊
Yeah, the promenade is so nice, we love it there 🤗
Yes Rickshaws is found only in Durban - Durbs.. Thank you for promoting our Durbs, home of the bunny chow. Lovely video thank you.
Used to do a pub crawl from the Malibu Hotel to the Blue Waters Hotel
Seriously makes me homesick. I grew up in Durban.
The home of my ancestors, love it
😊💛
Yes I remember the gardens my dad used to do wedding fotos at that park.way back in those days.all those places used to b a buzz on a saturday night.that used to b in the late 78 /79 😞miss the days.
This video is so nice, Thank you guys. Your quality is amazing.
Thanks so much for watching ☺️
Love your videos guys! 👍
Thanks so much, really appreciate it 🙏
Such a awesome video well done. I grew up in Durban loved every moment of my childhood in Durban. Loved North Beach, still go down ever now and again. Still have lots
Of friends and family in Durban Im up it Pietermaritzburg now. Well done on going on the cable cars I couldn't do that.
.
Haha! Was very nervous going on the cable car, but glad we did it 😅
Hope you’re enjoying it in Pmb…we’re in Hilton now (moved in Feb)
Awesome video . You guys are making me homesick . Brings back so many good memories
I love Durbs. Born and bred KZN MAN,moved to Cape Town in year 2000 because of work. Will be visiting Scotsburgh soon and want to do the Durban beach walk.
Ooh, we haven’t done Scottburgh on a video yet...you just gave us an idea 🙏😅
@@BeingBedingfield the Scottburgh /Umdoni municipal area is were I was born and bred before moving to Cape Town. A video of the Scottburgh beach font would be great.
I have always wanted to visit Durban and every time you guys share a new video here it makes me want to visit more!
The surf looks incredible and hearing how hot it is even as winter starts is so appealing to us in Rainy UK summertime 😅
The cable car views look amazing, it’s funny how creating videos makes you do things you normally wouldn’t like the rickshaws, looks great fun though!
Well done for fitting in so much, those full on vlogging days are exhausting but also so fun!
Please show us the Durban beach front Hotels, I used to admire them, like the Blue-Waters. Thanks
Awsome!!!
Me my wife and kids we were there in March this year for a week,it was great.
South beach ⛱️
Wish everyone can watch your videos 📸
The Golden Mile area is gorgeous! You two squeezed so much in a day. We can relate to feeling limited on places to highlight because you are right, you can only eat and drink so much in one day ☕ 🍸 😆 I really enjoyed seeing the view from the cable car. The tips at the end are very helpful to plan a visit!
Thanks guys! I'm sure you guys can definitely relate. We feel like Durban is the Florida of South Africa. We have so many awesome food and drink spots, that its really hard to showcase everything 😅

@@BeingBedingfield I agree, Florida and Durban seen quite similar. I hope we get to visit Durban some day and that you guys get to visit Florida :)
Beautiful place! thanks for sharing. Stay connected 🥰🥰
AGREE, & i'm from CT !!
Hay quá
Beautiful place
Durban beachfront really is stunning ☀️
Best vlog
great video well done
👌👌👌❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
Is THE FATHER'S MOUSTACHE Hotel still trading , we had some wild nights there, especially with my Rhodie ex-army buddies, great times & memories.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it? Where was it?
@@BeingBedingfield Hi , you probably too young , it was near the corner of Brighton & Marine Pde in South Beach at the Old Malibu Hotel , the place to be back in the 70's & 80's
@@Bunduki Sounds like an amazing time! It's probably where the Garden Court is now.
@@BeingBedingfield 😊👍
Hi thank you for the video.
So nice to see our beautiful country on TH-cam.
Do you know if the Golden mile is save and open after the looting ?
Hi, thanks for watching 😁 we went down to the beachfront on the Friday after the looting and it seemed like nothing even happened there. So should definitely be back to normal by now☀️
Oky, thank you.
Have a nice day 💚
@@zan3459 thanks, you too 😁
Sad note to mention, cant walk there in the evening or at night, its very, very dangerous. Felt very uncomfortable, seen a few incidents of crime on folks. This is south africa.
Just watched a video on crime and scams in Paris. It's people.
Wow. Had some good times back in the days, but Government corruption and crime doesn't offer a safe environment these days.
Riots?
Hi, yes, our hearts are really sore about the devastation that’s being caused by looters in our beautiful province at the moment. Hopefully our video can serve as a light at the end of the tunnel, our city has so much to offer and hopefully it can recover sooner rather than later 💔
What riots? To me that wasn't riots. It was just people doing shopping for free
It was more “planned or organised LOOTING”.
horrid place.used to be a paradise
Why don't you tell us about the high crime rate in Durban.....do not go to Durban, you will get mugged
There's crime everywhere in SA, if you want to see more of that you can watch/listen to the news. We are all about positivity and good vibes on our channel. Thanks for watching.
Here here like that response no place for negative propaganda about crime paranoia in South Africa stop it.
there had to be that 1 comment... really ???
Mugged by you and your friends?
