Holidays in Plettenberg Bay
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Plettenberg Bay is witout a doubt one of the most exclusive locations in South Africa as a destination for your holiday. For miles you can see and walk the white sandy beaches and get lost in the feeling of total relaxation. The long streches of beaches of Plettenberg Bay makes you feel as if you are on a lost island.
The weather makes the difference. 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, ensuring a perfect holiday.
Watching Whales is one of the greatest tourist attractions around the Plett area. Even watching them from the Robberg Beach, you can see these huge mammals enjoying the water, feeding their calves. They are in the Western Cape from about July until January, but you might see the most of them during the last few months.
The Robberg Nature Reserve is also a excellent Tourist Choice and maybe this is because you stand at the southern point of Africa overlooking the vast ocean. The Island in the Robberg Nature Reserve is for any nature lover. It makes you feel close to nature.
Getting available accommodatio in Plettenberg Bay might be difficult especially over the holiday season over Christmas. Lots of local 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. Many of them will take the opportunity to go for an annual holiday while others will seek out the opportunity to visit family up country. No matter where you stay in Plettenberg Bay, you will have the time of your life.
Maybe the one thing about Plettenberg Bay which still captivates me is the sunsets and the sunrises. Experiencing a sunrise here is a scene which will stay with you for the rest of your entire life. Make sure you get up early enough and have your camera ready. You are about to get some excellent pictures.
