Located on the Garden Route of South Africa’s Western Cape province, Plettenberg Bay is a seaside town, hosting one of the largest seagull breeding grounds along the coast, at the inlet of the Keurbooms River. It is home to the endangered African oystercatcher that lives along its shores. It is also home to the Cape fur seals that are often seen off Robberg Beach. Great white sharks are attracted to the shores because of the huge number of seals that live along the shorelines and can be spotted from high ground.
Southern right whales are a common sight during their breeding season, which happens twice a year, in July and December. Plettenberg Bay is also famous for its three species of dolphins, including the endangered humpback dolphin that visits the bay throughout the year. Plettenberg Bay is also known for its long history of sea life and is one of the best spots for sports fishing.
