Many visitors to the beachfront at Umhlanga Rocks take a walk onto the 80 meter long Umhlanga Pier to enjoy the view of the coastline and the Umhlanga Lighthouse close by. What many of these visitors don't know though is that the pier was actually built to assist with the dispersal of storm water into the sea. Before the pier was built storm water used to be discharged onto the beach at Granny's Pool. A large underground box culvert was constructed from Lagoon Drive and the pier is a continuation of the culvert, taking the water directly into the sea.
