The beach town at the eastern end.
Plettenberg Bay is the holiday town of the route – long beaches, the Robberg peninsula, and water clear enough that people forget they are in the Western Cape. In whale season the bay is one of the best places on the coast to see them from land.
Where to stay in Plettenberg Bay
Plett runs from backpackers to some of the most expensive houses on the route. Central Beach and Lookout are walkable; Robberg and the Poortjies side are quieter.
Where to eat and drink
The town eats well and knows it. Book in December – the good places fill up weeks out.
What to do
Robberg for the hike (it is longer and steeper than it looks), the beaches for everything else, and day trips out to the Tsitsikamma and the Bloukrans bridge.
