The Golden Mile runs from South Beach to the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World in the north. The wide stretch of golden sands is separated by various piers creating several beaches, all also very popular with surfers. Most of the Golden Mile's beaches are protected year round by lifeguards and shark nets. The Golden Mile is also a huge pleasure resort with dozens of swimming and splash pools, fountains and waterslides, curio markets and merry-go-rounds, uShaka Marine World, exotic restaurants, nightclubs and many hotels and apartment complexes directly at the beach. The Golden Mile has long been a popular holiday destination during the holiday season for South Africans from across the country as well as for international tourists. Along the ocean, a public promenade stretches from Durban's Harbour area in the south, right along the edge of the city and the sea, to Umgeni River in the north. All along this beach front are public attractions, good surfing, a funfair, and a great range of hotels.
