A short drive west of Richards Bay is the Ngoye Forest Reserve, an ancient tract of coastal scarp forest that provides habitat for rare and endemic species.

The Ngoye Forest Reserve also serves as a breeding site for endangered spotted ground thrush and eastern bronze-naped pigeons.

Dominating the coastline south of Richards Bay is the Durnford Point Lighthouse, a whitewashed tower named after a 19th-century British colonial engineer, Colonel A.W. Durnford.
