Basically a huge balcony overlooking the ocean, the location of this coastal spot gets rave reviews from travellers. Offerings include typical grilled seafood and burger fare. While the food is good, it's the location that makes this place special. Brighton Beach is south of Durban harbour, reached via the M4.
