The coastal village of Glentana, built in the early 20th century, is said to be named after a Northern Scotland whiskey. This lovely village between George and Mossel Bay in Western Cape, South Africa rewards visitors looking for a tranquil beach escape with a beautiful coast situated along the Indian Ocean surrounded by steep cliffs covered with fynbos that plunge into the water. Garden Route, a growing residential area, remains untouched with its remarkable natural landscape of white sand beaches, rocky outcrops, and Milkwood trees. Glentana Bay hides an ancient riverbed once used for fishing and shell collecting. Over the centuries, waves have carved caves on Glentana cliff’s south side which are waiting to be explored.
