Plettenberg Bay Beaches, South Africa
Overlooking a sweeping half-moon bay, Plettenberg Bay is a charming and modern town on South Africa’s famed Garden Route. Simply known as Plett by the locals, the centre of the town is perched high up on a rocky peninsular with great views of spacious beaches, tranquil lagoons and indigenous forests on the horizon.
Plettenberg is a prime location for hikers, mountain bikers, and horse riders, while watersport enthusiasts can also enjoy surfing, diving and canoeing. Dolphins and seals can also be spotted dodging surfers in the waves, and year-round boat trips are on offer to see whales – arrive between June and November and you’ll find southern right whales frolicking in the waters. There are three main sandy beaches to choose from, or hike in the Robberg Peninsular Nature Reserve or around the Keurbooms River Lagoon. Golf and polo are also popular activities enjoyed by both locals and guests.
