Umhlanga Rocks Grannys Pool

Granny's Pool is a surf boat-launch site located along the Umhlanga Rocks promenade in front of the Pearls Shopping Centre, KwaZulu-Natal.

Originally a sheltered bathing area, it was formed naturally by two rocky outcrops that buffer incoming swells, creating calmer water in the gulley between them.

This sheltered character made it the natural launching point for the first ski boats off Umhlanga, a role it continues to serve today.

The site is the registered launch site of the Umhlanga Ski-Boat Club and is also used by the KZN Sharks Board to access the shark nets beyond the backline.

While the rock pools surrounding the area are popular with children, Granny's Pool is an active boat-launch site and is not designated as an official swimming area.
