About La Mercy Lagoon
For a getaway that is all about long, languorous days spent in still waters and balmy sunshine, the La Mercy Lagoon is just about perfect. It's close to the Umdloti Beach Coastal Conservancy on the KwaZulu-Natal shores, and is picturesque. While it is best known for its excellent kite-surfing and kite-foiling (thanks to consistent winds and calm waters), it is an excellent getaway for families too.
There's place on the lagoon's banks to tan, play or build sand castles. So, families can pack a picnic and spend the day here. There's more than enough space to launch and land your kite on the sand or grassy areas too. Of course, because the lagoon water is calm and there aren't big waves, it's a lovely spot for families with little ones. It's great for stand-up paddling and snorkelling too.
It is tidal, so the whole La Mercy lagoon changes throughout the day, making it especially beautiful to witness. But, fortunately, the kite-surfing opportunities aren't dependent on the tide.
There is parking available, as well as convenient ablutions. La Mercy Lagoon is also home to food outlets, so visitors can buy snacks there.
La Mercy Lagoon may feel like it's in the middle of paradise, but it's only 6 kilometres from the King Shaka International Airport, making it a really accessible attraction for locals and visitors to Durban. It's also close to the Umhlali Country Club and Mount Edgecombe Golf Course, and uShaka Marine World is only 25 minutes' drive away.
