About

The Beach Bums are four locals who play live music at beach bars between Ballito and Zinkwazi, most Friday and Saturday nights. The set is mostly covers people know the words to, from Johnny Clegg and Mango Groove to Fleetwood Mac, plus a few originals about bad parking and low tide. It's for anyone who wants a night out that doesn't need a dress code. Families come for the early sets, the later ones get louder. Musicians are welcome to ask about sitting in on a song, especially if you play harmonica or sax. To catch a gig, check the band's events on this page, which are updated every week. To book them for a party or a venue, or to ask about playing with them, message Jono through the contact button. Bring cash for the tip jar.
