Durban is great surfing country, and it is not uncommon to see 60 or more surfers at one time at the Bay of Plenty. This beach is also a favorite location for bodyboarding and swimming, and it's also known for its lawns, sunken gardens and the Amphimarket Flea Market on Sundays. It is home to the world-famous Mr. Price Pro (formerly known as the Gunston 500) surfing competition, and spectators pour onto the beachfront by the thousands in July to witness this annual competition.
