"Plettenberg Bay is one of the most glamorous holiday destinations in South Africa. Set in the heart of the Garden Route, it is blessed with a wealth of natural assets that make it a perfect holiday spot.
The early Portuguese explorers called it "baia formosa" or the beautiful bay. Their reasons were sound; and Plettenberg Bay, as it later became known, embraces one of the most glorious sweeps of coastal scenery in South Africa. Backdropped by the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountain ranges and protected on one side by Robberg Nature reserve, a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea, the area is also awash with rivers and lagoons, lush with indigenous forest and bounded by long sandy beaches stretching east and west…
When Joachim van Plettenberg, Governor of the Cape, arrived in 1778, he was so taken by the natural beauty of the bay, he named it after himself."
Today Plett is one of South Africa's premier tourist destinations. It has some of the best beaches in South Africa.Getaway Magazine
