Fishing at Bazley, Ifafa Beach, Umdoni Coast, KwaZulu-Natal
Bazley Beach and Ifafa Beach are situated either side of the Fafa River on the Umdoni Coast, part of the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Bazley is on the north of the river and Ifafa Bech on the south and both consist of a few houses and a caravan park.
