Surf Riders
17 Erskine Terrace, Addington Beach, Durban. Another great place to sit and enjoy the beach life as you sip on your espresso. They have a menu that will suit the health conscious. However if you fancy a treat try out their cheesy fries. Warning, they are very addictive and you might find yourself having another portion.
