Beaches are the best!

Plettenberg Bay has crystal clear water and bright sandy beaches and some of the best swimming and surfing conditions in the Garden Route. The lovely long walks along the edge of the azure sea are often rewarded with whale and dolphin sightings. The beaches are:
Main Beach - Solar Beach - Robberg Beach
Lookout Beach and the beautiful Keurbooms Lagoon which has dramatically changed in 2007!
