Shakas Rock at a glance
Chakas Rock, or Shaka's Rock, is a coastal village just outside of Ballito on the KwaZulu Natal north coast and only 40 minutes drive from Durban. This little coastal village is close enough to the big city for comfort but far away enough for you to enjoy the peace and tranquillity and the beautiful unspoilt scenery. Bordered by cliffs, Chakas Rock is a quaint residential village that boasts a beautiful sandy beach and a tidal pool. The village got the name of Chakas Rock from a local rocky outcrop which is believed to have been used as a vantage point by the legendary Shaka Zulu, king of the Zulus.
Popular as a launch site for ski-boats, Chakas Rock beach goers often get to enjoy the thrill of watching these boats launch and beach as weathered fishermen come and go from deep sea fishing trips. With any luck you may even be able to buy some fish, fresh out of the ocean. Chakas Rock is an idyllic holiday spot, close to all amenities and facilities yet far enough removed to enjoy complete peace and tranquillity. The KwaZulu Natal coast enjoys a sub-tropical climate and temperate weather throughout the year, making Chakas Rock an ideal property investment location for your new seaside holiday home.
