Plettenberg Bay is witout a doubt one of the greatest locations in South Africa as a destination for your holiday. For miles you can experience the white sandy beaches and get lost in the feeling of winding down. The long streches of beaches of Plettenberg Bay makes you feel as if you are lost in time.
The weather makes the difference. In Plettenberg Bay you will find that the weather is better than the rest of the Garden Route in the Western Cape. The sun is also shining for about 300 days of the year, and let you enjoy your stay.
Plettenberg Bay Whale Watching is one of the greatest tourist attractions around the Plett area. Even watching them from the Rooberg Reserve, you can see these huge mammals enjoying the water, feeding their little ones. They are in the Western Cape from about July until January, but you might see the most of them during October.
The Robberg Nature Reserve is also a excellent Tourist Choice and maybe this is because you stand at the southern point of Africa experiencing this beautiful nature. The Island in the Robberg Nature Reserve is for any nature lover. It makes you feel small.
Finding Accommodation on the Garden Route might be difficult especially over the holiday season in December and January. Lots of Gauteng visitors and also overseas visitors come to plett every year and if you want to find good Accommodation you need to book early. Many people make their homes available for the visitors while they go and explore neighbouring destinations. Many of them will take the opportunity to go for an annual holiday while others will seek out the opportunity to just go camping in the Caravan Park down the road. No matter where you stay in Plettenberg Bay, you will have the time of your life.
Maybe the one thing about the Garden Route which still blows me away me is the sunsets and the sunrises. Experiencing a sunrise here is a scene which will stay with you for always. Make sure you dont sleep to late and have your camera ready. You are about to get some excellent pictures.
Only a few kilometers away is the great next door town of Knysna. Wander around at the Waterfront or visit the famous Knysna Elephant Park
