BEACHES
Plettenberg Bay has some of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa. The town’s 35 km of picturesque Indian Ocean coastline features 15 km of pristine, unspoilt sandy beaches. Throughout the year, you’ll find beachgoers of all ages soaking up the sun and enjoying the many outdoor activities you’ll find in Plett.
CENTRAL BEACH
Often the busiest beach in Plett. Life guards on duty in season. It’s the launch site for Marine Safaris, dive charters and ocean kayaking tours and facilities include restaurants, bars, public toilets and the local National Sea Rescue Station.
Arguably the best beach to find a Pansy Shell, Great family fun! Lookout Beach is popular for long walks along the ocean side from the Lookout parking lot to the river mouth, and then along the Keurbooms River back to the parking area.
Robberg Beach
By all accounts, Robberg 5 beach is Plettenberg Bay’s finest – and that’s saying something in a coastal resort famed for some 15km of unspoilt expanses of sand. The pale stretches of this Blue Flag beach are located in Beachy Head Drive, south of Plettenberg Bay’s Beacon Isle Hotel, and link the town’s central beaches with the rocky headland of the Robberg Peninsula, a nature reserve.
Natures Valley Beach
Natures Valley Beach is a secluded Blue Flag beach located near Plettenberg Bay, along the Garden Route in the Western Cape. The beach is well known as the end of the famous multi-day Otter Tail, and stretches from the mouth of the Groot River to the mouth of the Salt River. With giant indigenous trees, clear rivers, placid lagoons, and isolated sands.
