When the condition allow, the rocky reef just offshore, provides an excellent spot for snorkelling, where you will find fossilised remains of shellfish, various fish species, plant material and certified wood. These 90 million year old fossil beds are located a short distance from the shoreline, so that at spring tide it is possible for visitors to walk out and examine these ancient remains. The Trafalgar Marine Reserve is a small area extending for 6 km along the coast and 500 meters offshore. The are incorporates the 190 ha Mpenjati Nature Reserve. BLACK LAKE The mysterious Black Lake is hidden away in the lush green indigenous forest of the Yengele Dune Forest only a few meter away from the shoreline. It is rumoured that the lake is 45 m at the deepest point and is the closest freshwater lake to the sea on the entire KZN coastline.
