Plettenberg Bay is witout a doubt one of the most exclusive 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 being relaxed. The long streches of beaches of Plettenberg Bay makes you feel as if you have found heaven.
This is where you will find great weather. In Plettenberg Bay you will find that the weather is better than the rest of the Garden Route in the Western Cape. The sunshine lasts for about 300 days of the year, and let you enjoy your stay.
Plettenberg Bay Whale Watching is one of the most awsome dispays around the Plett area. Even watching them from the Rooberg Reserve, you can see these huge mammals playing in the water, feeding their calves. They are in Plettenberg Bay 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 great for sitting and looking as the huge wave’s splashes against the rocks. It makes you feel small.
Finding Accommodation in this area might be difficult especially over the holiday season in December and January. Lots of Gauteng visitors and also foreign visitors come to plett every year and if you want to find good Accommodation you need to book well in advance. Many people do rent their houses for the holiday seasons while they go and explore neighbouring destinations.

Maybe the one thing about this area which still blows me away me is the awesome sunrises. Waking up to the red skies over the mountains 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.
