Holidays in Plettenberg Bay
Plettenberg Bay is surely one of the greatest locations in South Africa as a holiday destination. For long streches you can see and walk the white sandy beaches and get lost in the feeling of total relaxation. The outstretched beaches of Plettenberg Bay makes you feel as if you are on a lost island.
The weather makes the difference. In Plettenberg Bay you will find that this town has the best weather in the Western Cape. The sun is also shining for about 300 days of the year, making it a great holiday destination.
Whale Watching is one of the best tourist attractions around the Plett area. Even watching them from the beach, you can see these huge mammals playing in the water, feeding their little ones. They are in Plett from about July until January, but you might see the most of them during September.
The Robberg Nature Reserve is also a great tourist attraction and maybe this is because you stand at the southern point of Africa overlooking the vast ocean. The Island in the Robberg Nature Reserve is for any nature lover. It makes you feel close to nature.
Getting available accommodatio in this area 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 Holiday Accommodation you need to book well in advance. Many people make their homes available for the visitors while they go and explore other places. Many of them will take the opportunity to go overseas 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, nature will reward you.
Maybe the one thing about the Garden Route which still captivates 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 might get some great shots.
A short drive from Plett is the great next door town of Knysna. Wander around at the Waterfront or visit the The Heads
