Whether you enjoy quiet evenings at home or being surrounded by people, Ballito has an activity to suit your needs.

Plan your day around the list of top 10 things to do in Ballito this weekend.

1. Head down to Willard Beach in Ballito everyday until Sunday for all the surfing action at the Mr Price Pro Ballito.

2. If surfing is not your thing check out the extreme stunts by Urban Rage at the retail area at Willard Beach on Saturday and Sunday.

3. Tonight music fans will enjoy the line up at the Mr Price Pro free concert at Salt Rock beach. The action begins at 4pm with indie songwriter Matthew Mole. Hot on his heels will be Gangs of Ballet, ISO and the beautiful ChianoSky. Handsome twin brothers Locinville and SAMA winners Iscream and the Chocolate Stix will round everything off.

4. You want to be part of the action but you don’t like crowds? Take a picnic, some deck chairs and watch the sun set at Salt Rock beach tonight. You can set up far away enough to enjoy the music without missing out on the fun.
