Bay Dreaming @ Hip Nautic Beaches

Ballito Bay Dreaming

Summer, Science & Sea

Nothing says “summer” quite like a trip to the beach. And there’s good news if you’re planning to hit the sand and surf this holiday season. Turns out, spending time at the sea is not only good for your tan; it also has significant psychological benefits for your mental health.

Psychologists say time spent at the seaside does the mind and body good. Here’s how to best reap the benefits of all that “vitamin sea.”

Key takeaways

Staring at the ocean actually changes our brain waves’ frequency and puts us into a mild meditative state.
Listening to the waves activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which makes us more relaxed.
In addition, the negative ions in the sea breeze have a mood-boosting effect.
Long associated with feelings of peace and calm, the colour blue has also been shown to enhance creativity.

The Sea is a natural elixer.

Dolphin Coast Beaches

There are several beaches along the The Dolphin Coast, that extends from Ballito Central, North & South along the coastline.

Swimming at the Dolphin Coast is ONLY Allowed on LifeGuard Protected Beaches!!!!! They are:
