Nature’s Valley Beach
Nature’s Valley Beach is a secluded Blue Flag beach located just 14km from the Crags. The beach is well known as the end of the famous multi-day Otter Tail, and stretches from the mouth of the Groot River to the mouth of the Salt River. With giant indigenous trees, clear rivers, placid lagoons, and isolated sands, it’s no surprise this beach has been declared one of the most beautiful in South Africa. The beach is ideal for surfing, swimming, sun tanning, paddling, hiking, birding, canoeing, cycling, fishing, and even star gazing. It’s definitely recommended to get here before sunset, prepared with a picnic basket, bottle of wine, and a blanket to enjoy the carpet of stars from below. There is a lovely restaurant and bar situated near the beach, Blue Rocks Café & Grill.
Keurbooms River Nature Reserve
Keurbooms River Nature Reserve, a World Heritage Site, is an exquisite, small reserve located just outside Plettenberg Bay. The Keurbooms River passes through the reserve bringing an abundance of water from further up in the Tsitsikamma Mountains to enter the ocean through the stunning estuary. Promising an undiluted nature experience of indigenous forests, unspoilt river gorge and protected kloofs, this reserve is a favourite destination for both local and international travellers.
Plettenberg Bay is a recognized Whale Heritage Site, one of only seven fully accredited Whale Heritage Sites worldwide.
