What to do and see in Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape: The Best Outdoor Activities

January 6, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

The caves of Plettenberg Bay are wrinkles in time, lined with ancient artifacts that date to the Middle Stone Age. Under the sun, Robberg, Central and Lookout beaches are pristine stretches of white sand, magnets for tourists, seagulls and dolphins, who bob playfully just off shore. Wildlife lovers will delight at the Birds of Eden aviary and Monkeyland. (How can you not have fun in a place called Monkeyland?)

Robberg 5 Beach

Reviewed By Heatherybluff - George, South Africa

This gorgeous 5km stretch of beach is well worth a visit, especially in low tide, when you can walk all the way from the Beacon Island Hotel to the peninsula of Robberg and back. There are lifesavers in certain areas, and one has to be very careful of rip tides, so best to stick to the designated swimming areas. A gorgeous beach with lovely views.
