Marine & Bean Cafe

About Marine & Bean Cafe

Marine and Bean Café is an absolute treasure along Durban's Golden Mile, offering arguably the best-value ocean views in the entire city. This laid-back, community-centered cafe is perched right on the deck of the local lifesaving club. It has earned a massive local following particularly among the Durban Point parkrun community for its ultra-affordable, delicious comfort cooking. Diners can sit out on the elevated deck, watch the surfers and passing ships, and enjoy exceptionally cheap breakfast bundles (like their famous R40 breakfast buns and affordable double-egg-on-toast plates). Seamlessly shifting from a cozy morning coffee station into a relaxed afternoon hang with cold beers and boerewors rolls on big match days, it stands out as an essential, high-value recommendation for families, beachgoers, and budget-conscious travelers.
