It has been a centre of sea trade since before colonisation and now has a flourishing artistic centre, which perfectly complements the vibrant markets and rich cultures of the city. Durban's port is a natural half-moon harbour lined with white sand and azure water, punctuated by the port's many piers which reach into the water like the leaves of a fan. The beaches of Durban's famous Golden Mile stretch along the harbour and are popular all year round, as travellers and locals alike enjoy Durban's warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters.
