Plettenberg Bay Tourism Plett, it's a feeling! This is the official tourism account for Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. It is also the only town within a national park.

Welcome to Plettenberg Bay

Plettenberg Bay is a premier holiday destination situated on the Southern Cape coast of South Africa. Plett, as it is popularly known, has sweeping golden beaches, the iconic Robberg Peninsula, intriguing lagoons and estuaries, towering indigenous forests and unpolluted rivers, vineyards and wine estates. Known as “Bahia Formosa” (beautiful bay) by early Portuguese expl

orers, the “Plett feeling” is easy to experience. With its moderate climate and beautiful vistas over the Indian Ocean, Plett’s about lazy sun-filled beach holidays (on any one of our six Blue Flag beaches) and activities ranging from adrenaline to leisure. This includes hiking, mountain biking, abseiling, bungy jumping, sky diving, marine safaris, boutique shopping and wine tasting. You’ll be spoilt for choice with some of SA’s award-winning restaurants, wine farms and other lifestyle experiences. Plett is home to wildlife sanctuaries, game reserves, whale and dolphin watching, birding, canoeing and kayaking, sailing … and so much more. Situated between the hills covered with indigenous Fynbos and the Bitou River is the tranquil and rural village of Wittedrift, a bird and nature lover’s paradise. From Keurboomstrand to the Robberg Peninsula there are 15 kilometers of beaches punctuated by the river mouth and an island. The river, lagoon, bay and beaches are much used by fishing and boating enthusiasts and offer the best shore based whale watching of the area. The Crags is situated 20 kilometers from Plett central and has become one of the must see areas, with polo fields, wildlife sanctuaries, theatre and an abundance of art and craft offerings along its vibrant ‘Cruise the Crags‘ route. And once there, head down the scenic R102 to tranquil Nature’s Valley with its untouched indigenous trees, forest and beautiful pristine coastline for a glimpse of historical beauty. Further down the N2, nestled in the great forests lying at the feet of the fabled Tsitsikamma mountains is the quaint hamlet of Storms River offering teeming bird life, vast expanses of Cape flora, delicate eco-systems in wetlands and lagoons, gigantic trees and adrenaline pumping activities such as the world’s highest bungee jump and tree canopy tours. Whatever you choose, make sure to take advantage of all the Plett has to offer to experience that “Plett feeling”.

“Driving into Bitou River Lodge, I was surrounded by lush grass fields and lemon trees swaying in the breeze. At the parking bay, Emanuelle - or more affectionately known as Manny - greeted me with a warm hug and a beaming smile, instantly recognizing me from a past visit. It felt less like checking in and more like coming home.”�

Beachgoers, be in the lookout - it's Turtle Hatchling Season! 🐢🌊
Turtle hatchling season has begun along our coastline. Thanks to CapeNature'Chanel Gemae Visser for bringing this our attention. Keep an eye out for these tiny turtles during your beach walks—they’re often no bigger than a car key.

Remember, never return them to the water as they do not naturally occur along our temperate coastline as hatchlings. Every year, between March and May, large numbers of endangered loggerhead, and occasionally leatherback, turtles can wash up on beaches, but they’re not supposed to be there.

The turtles hatch in the much-warmer KwaZulu-Natal and usually swim into the warm Agulhas currents and “ride” the current southwards (“Grab shell, dude!”). However, a strong south-easterly wind and rough sea conditions can throw them off course and they end up in our colder Cape waters where they end up beaching along our coastline: stunned by the cold, dehydrated and sometimes injured.

If you find a hatchling, alive or deceased, please contact the Plett Marine Standing Hotline at (079) 463-4837 immediately. Thanks to our stranding network for all their hard work!
