Blythedale / Umvoti 1

The Blythedale/Umvoti boat ramp is a ski-boat launch site situated at the mouth of the Mvoti River (also spelled Umvoti) on KwaZulu-Natal's Dolphin Coast, roughly 80 km north of Durban near Blythedale Beach.

The launch serves recreational and charter fishing vessels accessing the Indian Ocean, and historical data shows it contributed significantly to ski-boat launch activity along this stretch of coastline, particularly in earlier years.

The surrounding area encompasses a protected estuary and conservancy where dune forest meets beach. The Mvoti River mouth is noted for prolific birdlife and offers shore-based fishing opportunities alongside the boat launch.
