Right at the uMngeni Mouth, near the Durban Green Corridor GreenHub are the Beachwood Mangroves. This 76-hectare reserve, not 5 minutes from the city centre is a National Monument and consists of rare mangrove swamp forest and important estuarine habitat at the mouth of the Umgeni River.
There is a beautiful boardwalk into the mangrove forest from which one can view crabs and other mangrove critters going about their day and generally offers an amazing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Guided walks and canoeing can be arranged through the Durban Green Corridor GreenHub
