Sheffield Beach is a small coastal village located on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, just north of Ballito and some 26 kilometres (16.2) south of KwaDukuza and 53 kilometres (32.9 mi) north-east of Durban.
Geography
Sheffield Beach is situated about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of
Ballito, positioned north of
Salt Rock, east of
Umhlali, and at the northern edge of the Greater Ballito urban area. To the north lies Tinley Manor Beach, separated from Sheffield Beach by roughly 2 kilometres of undeveloped land
According to the 2011 census, the main place of Sheffield Beach consists of three sub-places: Sheffield Beach proper along the coast, Brettenwood Coastal Estate to the south-west and Sheffield Manor further west bordering the N2.
Transport
Roads
Sheffield Beach lies just off the N2 (connecting to
KwaDukuza in the north and
Durban in the south) which currently can be accessed via Salt Rock Road and Sheffield Beach Road at the N2/Salt Rock interchange. The area can also be accessed from
Salt Rock via Wilkes Road and Hugh Dent Drive.
Road Developments
A new interchange on the N2, featuring south-facing on- and off-ramps, is currently under construction to accommodate the growth of the area. Once complete, it will provide a direct connection to Sheffield Beach, eliminating the need to route through the Salt Rock/uMhlali interchange.
